August 1954 Official Guide puts #103 out of Milford at 10:30 p.m. MT, and #104 out of Las Vegas at 12:55 a.m. MT. Running time for #11/9 (combined Idahoan/City of St. Louis) from Milford to Caliente was 2 hrs 58 min, and #10/8 from Las Vegas to Caliente was 2 hrs 45 min. That indicates the meet is still somewhere in the vicinity of Crestline. <br /> <br />June 1966 Official Guide puts combined City of L.A./Challenger/City of St. Louis out of Milford at 12:10 a.m. MT, through Caliente at 2:40 a.m. MT, while the eastward City of Everywhere was through Caliente at 12:55 a.m. MT. Still meeting somewhere around Crestline. <br /> <br />If we had an old-head dispatcher to talk to, he'd be able to tell us where the meet was made when both were on time. It was probably the same siding every night. For example, 17 and 18 on the D&RGW would consistently meet at Grizzly or Shoshone in Glenwood Canyon. <br /> <br />OS
