This postcard is part of Fritz Kinke's Flickr site.
I'm hoping to link some of Fritz's photos of D&RG Durango freight customer sites, but in searching for photos I came across this Gato postcard and thought it worth a thread.

Gato post card
This photo post card shows the 476 pulling the San Juan in Gato. It is post WWII because of the Army surplus truck on the loading ramp. Chickens, passengers, a car being loaded/unloaded, people on the porch of Gomez' store--a typical day in what is barely a wide spot in the road. This card was purchased in Chama from a rack full of similar cards about 1966.
