Jimmy, Thank you so much for these new posts.

"Extra 488 east depart Cumbres time not shown light for Alamosa (stop Sublette pick up section foreman railroad mail)"

Was the section foreman a person, who was carrying the railroad mail?
I guess he rode in the cab, since 488 was running light. I doubt they put him in the doghouse.

If he could have waited, he might could have rode in the caboose on the 499 train which was following.
