Saw some footage today of some Rio Grande stuff on the 4th Sub. There was some footage of 464 switching coaches in Durango...When did that engine last run?
Also some freights between Alamosa-Durango. One Cumbres turn had front engine and rear pusher with a big train...7 lumber cars loaded, and about 7 tank cars, plus about another 8-10 empties. It had a caboose. However another train with a rear pusher used a MOW gray coach which looked like an old RPO. Anyone ever see any trains like this?
Other interesting stuff too numerous to go into at this time. Sorry no Salida stuff Jerry. Before most peoples time!
