There were a number of possible errors in the Pentrax video. 497 must have been running light from Antonito based on the background and direction. 453 was the Durango switcher and Silverton engine by this time and not seen in Gunnison. The best videos of the Gunnison lines including the Ouray branch and the Valley line were from "Machines of Iron" by Otto Perry and Irv August.These are "Around the Narrow Gauge Circle" and "Gunnison". Only errors were details of the run in 1955 to pick up stock cars at Sargent mixed in with a boxcar freight over Poncha Pass. all in 16mm.
