ATSF Railway piggyback train symbol 199 at South Chavez, NM

Train 199 (Extra 5677 West) roars through South Chavez late in the day on October 30, 1977. This is another section where the mainlines are split apart. The north main is about a quarter mile away running at the bottom of the valley. Between Baca and Thoreau, the south track stays a fairly constant 0.6% grade while the north track has sections that are up to 1.04%. The elevation here is 7,000 feet. Disk 64
