Re: 58 years ago today - 493 and 483 heading out of Alamosa with the last flanger spreader run
| January 27, 2024 10:46PM |
After coaling the two engines, the crew headed off to the Dutch Mill Cafe for breakfast. Here some of the crew members are returning from the cafe, including 483's fireman Gayle Cunningham (in the light blue outfit) and R. Morgan, 483's engineer. Nguen is standing by the water tank.
The flanger spreader outfit is heading out of Antonito. The train has passed the three-rail yard, and is approaching the Highway 285 crossing and the end of the third rail
