Was on that train riding in the caboose. One of the best rides I have experienced. From Rockwood back to Durango it was snowing hard, starting to get dark, marker lights on the caboose, coffee on the stove, could not see the engine except when the fireman opened the fire door. Reminded me of the movie of a flanger run on Crested Butte in 52.
