Neat shot Fritz. An unusal vantage point for sure. Also note the rear of a westbound train in the siding in the distance. When we were there in 1968, the operational proceedure usually incuded all 3 engines hostled in the morning, then the westbound train departing as the eastbound was being made up, likely what is happening in your shot. My relatives got some trains from Chama in 1967 including action with 497 seen in your shot. Keep those oldies coming. Something to look forward to on a day when the Bengals lose another one!
