Hi, Jason -
I'm not sure which train this is, but it's passing southbound through the United Campground on the north side of Durango where I have stayed several times during the past decade and a half. That's my newer old car and favorite campsite, right next to the tracks:
Here's a shot taken from one of the following day's northbound trains, with my daughter Cindy (Jackelopette) at the far left and my tent at the far right:
One more northbound train, passing through the campground roughly a year later with a slightly too green "#472" on the point and my older new Cayuga-duck-colored, ah-oooogah-horn equipped car 'Cayooga' at the right :
