Here is an example, the Aug. 28-29, 1967, E-W freights; on the 28th 493 is pulling the westbound into Chama, with 04343 and 0503 on the rear. The 2nd caboose was for the brass down from Denver, note the tie and bright yellow hardhat. 0503 and the brass returned to Alamosa the next day on eastbound.
