Don Gibbs later became Road Foreman of Engines out of Pueblo and retired in the Union Pacific years. While working for the Union Pacific he went all over the country. Andy Payne retired out of Pueblo in the mid-1980s. He ran to Alamosa and to Minturn. He also got to operate the Monarch train during the standard gauge era.
Robin Yates retired out of Pueblo. He was the engineer on the last Union Pacific train over LaVeta Pass. Mike Barnett, my old Catholic elementary school classmate, was the conductor.
Stanley Smith retired out of Pueblo.
