I was given a set of slides from a visit to the NN in I believe 1959 (the slides are stored somewhere and I forgot to annotate the scans). The set starts at Shafter with four WP diesels on a passenger, facing west and covers the line up to the mine. There appear to be a half dozen slides that are missing but one interesting shot is the rotary under power in the yard. It is clearly late spring or summer but the blade is clearly spinning.

I think the tour may have been organized by the Illini Railroad Club. Slides covering the 3 day D&RGW Alamosa to Durango/Silverton and back are also in the set.
