Thanks for those aerial views of Carbon Junction that really say it all.
While 484 and crew finished putting the train back together, I moved a bit further east to catch the train starting to head down the branch. The track leading to Chama is in the foreground of this movie frame.
I next drove ahead on highway 550 to the bluff overlooking the area east of Durango. Major highway 550 expansion was underway. I am sure that JBWX or Russo could provide much sharper photos here.
(if you can tough it out, after Posta I switched back to 35 mm still photos)
