Re: CATS 1981 some slides scanned (more..)

Crew at Sublette: L-R Freddie Salazar, conductor, unknown motor car operator, Sam Ruybal, brakeman.

There are three cars on the head end that were used for tour groups boarding at Cumbres and riding either to Antonito or to Osier and back, this day it seems they are getting deadheaded back to Cumbres. The switching scenes at Cumbres are 487 setting out the extra cars. These cars originally were opened up on one side only and used on the late-70's Cumbres-Sublette overflow train. Later the other side got opened up, the later work gave them taller windows on one side.

These cars were Scenic Ry property. When Scenic left, the Commission declined to by them. A couple ended up at the Rio Chama RV Park.
