Jimmy, the 474 was the Crested Butte engine for over 10 years as you know. Frank was transferred to GJ in 36, but he did come back to work out of Gunnison many times after that. He told me he and Clarence Russell shared the bunk house at Gunnison many times. Sometimes they would come to Gunnison, make a run to Baldwin one day, Crested Butte the next, and then go back to GJ. He did not like working out of GJ but was no crew spot for him at Gunnison.
