But only a trace of fat diamonds (at the far right), as
#483 is readied to take over our train on the last day:


A few miles east of Durango - the obligatory morning run-by.  The consist is typical of the four excursions I rode in 1960, '62, '64 and '66 - although sometimes a boxcar for overflow baggage ran ahead of the combine.  I'm not sure if the regular Silverton train also had an open gon at the rear:


After the customary - and necessary - stop in Chama for water and some help.  Looks like a K-37, but I can't read the number as the train enters the S-curve.  In 1960, IIRC, the second road crossing was closer to Cresco than Dalton:
