In the old paper booklet schedule, these flights were listed as 1 or 2 stops (this one being 1 stop). A change of aircraft notes as “C” for Connect.

Ironically, our DEN-ABQ flight was on the same plane, however a different flight number.
Ah yes, and you could leave an "occupied" card on you seat for when you reboarded.
