Remarks & Notes

On December 12, 1962, an unusually heavy No.1 headed around the curve at Palmer Lake with PA-PB and two F7A's. The train size that day would appear to be occasioned by Christmas season mail, and by several extra coaches, chartered by a school organization for a trip to Colorado Springs. Photo by Al Chione, from my collection.
