These posts show that the narrow gauge was a 24-hour railroad, unlike today.
Al Miller, longtime AT&SF engineer out of Raton said he didn't know that trains ran at night until he got hired. He quickly found out.
``Most of my calls were from midnight to 2 a.m.,'' he said.
He ended his career on Amtrak 3-4, out at noon to Las Vegas, back at 6 p.m.
They probably didn't have those hours on the narrow gauge.
