Maybe not all that unusal as I believe about this time frame the passenger crews were still handling LCL freight until the unions "won" in a ruling by the Railroad Labor Board so that they would get freight pay in addition to passenger pay for handling LCL traffic...
See also a RB Jackson photo dated 7/12/1939 on page 172 of CRRM Annual No. 24 captioned thusly:
"This 11 car train is one of the longest narrow gauge passenger trains ever photographed in scheduled service. It includes two mail & baggage cars, six baggage cars, two coaches and a parlor car. The combination of trains 115, the San Juan (westbound)and 425, the Santa Fe mixed, is (shown) heading south from Alamosa to Antonito on July 12, 1939. (Richard B.
