Beautiful photos Olaf, I have enjoyed all your photo scan postings and I look forward to seeing even more! Here is an aerial photo of the same area in reference to the sketch that Ernie made during his trip. You can see the two distinctive railroad grades as in the sketch. The area sure has built up since his trip down there in 1968. Do we know how long this line remained in operation? (Click on image to view full size)

We have witnessed valley
and plain and crest,
Canon and pass we've scanned;
We have seen the best
of the glorious West,
by the trail of the Rio Grande
