I met Vinton when I lived in Lincoln, NE. He did a lot of recordings that were produced by the Smithsonian. Also took many pictures of Colorado Narrow Gauge besides the Class 1 stuff in the midwest.
A mutual friend sent me the details yesterday of the auction for all his recordings, slides and other misc. While I probably cannot afford it, perhaps someone can or knows of someone or an entity that could use this collection.
Please check out the link to the auction here
Vinton Wight Collection
Also check out some of the scanned slides, with some vintage views of the CRRM back in Alamosa.

I am not affiliated in anyway with this auction or person listing the collection. Just thought I would pass this on.
