The 1950 time table for the San Juan shows 65 minutes from Alamosa to Antonito on 28.6 miles. Allowing for acceleration, deceleration in getting out of and into town they probably ran it at just over 30 mph.
I ran a few other numbers off the time tables for the San Juan and most of these were 20-22 mph over distances of 15 to 20 miles more or less. The time from Durango to Dulce was 3.63 hours over 78.22 miles or 21.55 mph average not allowing for the meet.
The D-S shows 36 minutes for the 11 miles from Durango to Hermosa or 18.6 mph average. I watched the 497 go past Home Ranch some years back and it was pitching and wallowing all over the place. Kind of like a fat lady trying to sprint.
