This story is in "Rio Grande Glory Days" and it supposedly happened on the standard gauge mainline. I have heard several times that Mr. Lathrop's stories we often embellished, and some of them were actually other people's experiences. Who knows? The book is very entertaining, and if not totally accurate, it does provide a view into a time past.
