Re: Como in 1936

Yes, that is Engine #6. All West End Enginemen lived in Como, except Charlie Williamson, who was killed on #75 in the wreck in January 1936. David is correct, the enginemen carpooled to Leadville when called for Eastbound freights. Winter and all. If there was another Eastbound Extra the following day out of Leadville, they bunked in tenements. All West End trainmen, every one, lived in Leadville. These both were a practice that carried all the way back to old DSP&P days.

Thanks, Earl for the info on the Passenger trainmen. Did the D&RGW run between Alamosa and Como?

Happy Thanksgiving everybody!
