Ah-yup.  Thank You, Greg -

Helps to explain why Ernie took no stills at Los Pinos, and very few at Cumbres — he was filming movies.  Per Ernie, he had a 16mm movie camera lent to him by an T-V station in Albuquerque so he could get shots for their evening news.  He and Jeff Stebbins also lost some of their chasing time when they went on ahead to Chama to try to rent a snowmobile (which apparently didn't turn out too well), and they didn't make it back to Los Pinos ahead of the train.

Also, for a gradually improving summary of D&RGW narrow gauge operations in 1968 see the thread starting at [ngdiscussion.net].  The root post is updated whenever new details are obtained.
