No, the stub run with 473 and combine 212 ran for a short time between Chama and Dulce after that last run of the San Juan in Jan 1951. There was some problem with New Mexico over the suspension of passenger service that required the D&RGW to maintain the stub run for a few months.

You may be thinking f the NPS special train which ran from Durango to Alamosa in late 1968. That was a once only train.
