Right, Greg -
The pics posted previously at [ngdiscussion.net] and [ngdiscussion.net] don't show the dozer, so here's one that does. IIRC this was posted several years ago, but the following is a more recent and sharper re-scan:
About an hour after the above was taken #498's fire was dropped in Alamosa. She hasn't run since . . .
For a few shots of the C&TS use of a dozer at Cumbres in mid-May, 1973, see [ngdiscussion.net].
