He didn't say a lot about 375 other than that Lathrop's account of how he made 375 run better by tossing junk down the stack was pure fabrication and that the shop foreman at Gunnison is the one who fixed the problem. I asked him why 375 was moved to Durango and he said he wasn't sure, but that it was probably because they needed it on the Silverton run and it wasn't powerful enough for the Crested Butte coal trains which normally had two mudhens.
He didn't say too much about the RGS. He only made a couple of runs on it, but he did often deliver D&RGW engines to the RGS at Ridgway.
