Picture of Rio Grande Coal Trains meet at Toponas, Colorado

Extra 5354 East meets Extra 5361 West at Toponas (milepost 153) on November 11, 1976. I've moved back a little bit to get the new CTC signal into the picture as the caboose of the 5361 West goes by.

Once Extra 5361 West is clear the dispatcher gives Extra 5354 East a green signal to leave the siding at Toponas. Get your headlight on there buddy!
