Mike, I think you nailed it. I don't have the exact date handy, but knew it was in Dec.
of '56. I have a few John Hungerford slides of that same engine in Monte Vista on
June 6 of that same year.
BTW, a few of the 3600 class were still used at least as late as Oct. '56 around Tabernash,
including 3609 and 3612
