Other than the cleanup train in December, the above was the LAST westbound run from Alamosa to Chama (and Chama to Durango the next day), and it was August, not winter. IF the brakie was Dennis Cummins, is he still around? If so, does anyone have an address for him - I'd like to send him a print of the photo.
Per Earl, The engineer on 483 was Eldon Morgan. I got an O-K photo of 483 running light just west of Cumbres that Earl's wife made into a card for Eldon's 80th birthday a year or two ago.
