Description:  CLOVIS NM early 1970s -- This undated photo is a scan of an Instamatic color negative. Im gussing it was taken in 1970. I found M190 hidden south of the roundhouse in Clovis.

As of this writing it has been returned to New Mexico and is back in Albuquerque. As a child growing up in Portales (just south of Clovis) I remember a round trip to Clovis to celebrate a birthday. M190 or M160 were the motive power and the car was a stainles steel round end observation. NOTE -- The date included with this photo is only a gues as to month and day. Ony the year is accurate.
