Excuse the finger in the lense. 
Jaybird gave an 'emotional' speech before train time Saturday evening. Note the pair in the Red pantaloons. They were almost run over when the Cats crew pulled the engine in to be coaled up. They didn't move until the snow plow almost took their legs off. The regular train Saturday pulled in with 14 cars and over 350 passengers. the train from Antonito had a similar count. Next day regular trains were restricted to 8 cars because one engine was occupied with the freight.
