Re: Alamosa May 19 1949

Clayt Braswell and Conductor Anderson were like the "Dream Team"! Working extra 345 from Montrose to Gunnison and then 5 mins after arriving in Gunnison the dynamic duo was off on extra 493 to Crested Butte! Must have taken a few miles for Clayt to acclimate to the much larger cab of the 493 compared to the much smaller and older cab of 345. It would have been interesting to see if they used the caboose from extra 345 to extra 493 since that was Conductor Anderson's office and also where extra 345 was spotted in comparison to 493. Fun stuff Jimmy and love seeing another 3 engine train over Marshall Pass too! Thanks for posting.
