Back in 1967 no one worried much about an occasional rail fan wandering over to the west side of the Lobato bridge to catch a Cumbres turn working its way to the pass. Here 493's consist includes 3 flat cars of lumber from the Weidman mill in Durango. While many things have remained unchanged, free access here is unfortunately not one of them.
