Re: 476 last run Durango to Chama November 10, 1967

The train is now climbing out of the Florida river bottoms headed to Oxford
Having reached the flatter land near Oxford, the train is rolling along at a good clip
Between Ignacio and La Boca there was a long straight section with a parallel gravel road, making for some excellent pacing opportunities.
476 is approaching the tank at La Boca. After running past the Florida tank, the tender is undoubtedly running low, especially after the hard struggle up Bocea hill.
476 is accelerating her train out of Bocea for the Los Pinos river crossing and the climb out of the valley
