I was thinking the Black but one of the pics has a trian track in it.

I have never paddled downstream of the chuckar trail, are there tracks down there?

I was thinking the same thing Mut, but I've never been in the Black, just below Chukar thru Gunny Gorge. No tracks, no old railroad grade (which you can see in the other photos, RL in first two, RR in third) down there either.
Were there even color photos in 1944? I wasn't even close to around, but it seems that shit came later than the 40's.
What's the scoop yeti? Where's your source, man. Don't make us go all Dan Rather on you...

tracks in the black go from gunnison, under blue mesa/the rest of the aspinall unit (where i am guessing those pictures were taken) to cimmaron where the train left the gorge, check out the old monument there on the next trip by.
