Your account of why the un-scheduled stop clears up that which was a mystery to me at the time. Thanks.
I attach additional images (scanned from 35 mm color negatives) to re-live that extra-ordinary day.
The last shots are near Ft. Blackmore and show how close folks got to the moving train. A personal story here: After the scramble to pick up what Santa had tossed, one little boy came up empty handed. The look on his face broke your heart. I reached into my pocket and handed him a dollar bill. It helped his experience.
