last ones.....I promise
After making a tactical retreat from Sublette, I returned to Chama and found 487 getting coal at the tipple. I had forgot the tipple was in use in 1980.
The next day I got drafted to be a student brakeman on the Chama-Osier train. I rode to Osier and back. At Osier we departed as the Stock Extra was arriving. My pics I took were less than interesting. Back in Chama, I headed up the hill to find Stock Extra 485 West.
Here at MP 337
At Dalton
And easing down the hill through the Narrows.....
that's all folks!
