The Grande would send a night train from Pueblo with 5 units. They would leave the over tonnage at La Veta (town) and take the rest to Alamosa. At Alamosa day crews would come on duty. One engine would work to Antonito, one to Monte Vista and the other three would take the previous over tonnage to La Veta (town) and bring the Westbound over tonnage back to Alamosa. At the end of the day the Pueblo crew would be called and take max tonnage to Pueblo. Wash, rinse, repeat. I watched and this operation for years. JP
