Re: Chasing 493 from Alamosa to Chama with Jeff and Ernie on December 5, 1967

After the usual coaling and crew breakfast at the Dutch Mill cafe, it was time to head out to the next photo locations. I decided to catch the train leaving Antonito, while Ernie and Jeff took off down the dirt road to the Hangman trestle.
493 is approaching the end of 3rd rail and continuing west
Jeff caught this scene from Ernie's car as they were pulling ahead of the train
493 is about to cross the Hangman's trestle
