Wow! Are you the photographer on all these? I'll bet my husband would order prints if they were available!

Not hardly. The photos at the link are from a man named Richard Tower. My favorite is from a 20-year old young man (William Diehl) who now has a railroad job in Arizona. I don't have permission to copy, so I just include a link:

Passing over Lobato Trestle

The next links are the same engines (487 and 488) near the same location 64 and 67 years earlier (1943 and 1940):

D&RGW 487, 06/23/1943, Eastbound, Freight, 21 cars, east of Lobato, 482 pushing

D&RGW 488, 06/16/1940, Westbound, Freight, 70 cars, near Lobato

Living history, indeed!

By the way, there will be a DVD commercially available, hopefully next month.
