493 with lumber loads, from Frank Barry's tree, on December 6, 1967

On December 6, 1967, engine 493 was bringing a cut of lumber loads from Chama to Cumbres. Today this view would require a drone, but 54 years ago there was a tall tree here that allowed climbing to this elevated viewpoint. Almost four years earlier Frank Barry had mentioned the advantages of climbing this tree, and I finally followed his suggestion by climbing it twice in December '67
