Hey Marvin! 

Google image says; June 25, 1987.  Semi t-boned the fireman's side cab of D&S (D&RGW) #473. 

There is an old 1975 song that suggests a truck full of chickens hit a feed store in Pogosa Springs, but it's actually not true!!!!  (C.W. McCall song, "Wolf Creek Pass")

Wow, that gives new meaning to the definition of "mashed potatoes."
