Finally sorted this out....

This was a night photo session the night before a charter train for the National Narrow Gauge Modelers Convention held in Denver. The train was indeed arranged by Jim Trowbridge and ran on Mon, Sept 17, 1984.

My notes:

Mon. Sept 17
in 700am
NNGMC Special
X489E
eng 489 - R. Fischer
5 frt (stock, ref. 2xbox, gon) & 8 cars (ed note, boxcar coaches) 13 cars
Chama - Big Horn
meet #1 at Osier

X489 W
eng 489 - R. Fischer
13 cars
Big Horn - Chama

out 9:30pm
14 1/2 hours.

Obviously from the old days when we did not worry about Hours of Service Regs....

It's not mentioned, but we met #4 at either Sublette or Toltec on the westbound trip.
