I'm with you on that one, John -
IIRC, the following moldy oldie from June, 1960 is the only one I ever took there 'cause back in the olden days I was saving precious film for run-bys and took very few shots of the train while on the train:
Ernie Robart followed the very last eastbound D&RGW train for a few miles east from Gato fifty-three years ago tomorrow — the NPS Special of November 23 & 24, 1968. See [ngdiscussion.net] and [ngdiscussion.net] for Ernie's pics.
