493 near the Continental Divide
Helper 498, running ahead of the train, is crossing the first wooden trestle in Monero / Amargo canyon
493 entering the canyon
From this point, just short of Monero, I returned to follow 487 and 497 making their morning Cumbres turn. Note: for reasons unknown the NGDF insists on placing the last two photos out of
sequence despite starting over several times. ?????????????
