Thanks for the reminder, John -
Here are two more of Ernie Robart's photos of the last eastbound freight on 08/29/68 that I scanned for him three years ago.
The telegraphone booth at m.p. 322.95 and the nearby poles are clearly shown:

Ernie's 1970 map of the C&TS identifies this location as 'Los Pinos Station'. Was there ever actually a station there, or was Osier close enough to serve the local ranchers?
