In the 1936 sequences, that would have been great to witness the three way passenger meet at Cumbres, and the double passenger/rotary meet at Big Horn. Why was 116 kept as two Sections east of Cumbres? Perhaps the two cars added at Chama made it over-length? Even the 14 cars out of Durango would have been a sizeable train.

And it would also have been interesting to see 268 paired up with 488 and the Rotary. Maybe it was a last minute replacement, given the 20 minute delay “get engine ready and in train”. You operating folks would have more insights into this, but it’s a fascinating read.
