I'm guessing this was late winter or early spring of 1980. 5771 has it's original pilot on it. Later in 1980 is when the collision with the cement truck occurred and 5771 got it's Burnham built pilot The steam generator is a converted Alco PB-1. The scene after where the two guys are running down the track was shot near Colton. The turn off from highway 6 to Scofield is here along with the railroad's Pleasant Valley branch to Scofield and the Skyline mine loadout. The tracks are abandoned beyond the loadout and continue into Clear Creek. The tracks are still there.
