483 approaching a very different Durango 54 years ago
| November 22, 2020 08:46PM |
While Russo Loco is busy scanning some slides from the olden days, I thought I would post a preview of one from the July/August 1966 set - 483 bringing the second cut of empties from Posta on the Farmington branch into Durango on August 11, 1966. It seems striking how much Durango has changed over the years. If it wasn't for the mountains that still look much the same, the scene would probably be unrecognizable today.
Thanks Russo Loco
