Oops we forgot to finish the lettering!

When I heard that 463 was running a special on the the 17th and that Jay had requested the 0579 caboose for the 315 charter, I wanted to get a photo of the two meeting at Sublette. Since I had worked on the 0579 restoration and both my son and I worked on 463's tender, there's a bit of fondness for both. So I contacted Jay to see if I could join the photo line at Sublette. He was more than accommodating; I didn't feel it would be right to chase the 315 given the riders paid good money to get the photographs and have the experience. So I spent the day following the 463 train instead.

When I got to Sublette, I saw that a flat car was on the siding at figured the meet had to be at the east switch. When the 315 went into the siding and the 463 finished taking on water, I figured some of the riders would want to photograph the meet at the east end of the siding. Nope, nobody cared, I guess it was "all about the 315". So just Jay and I were there to record the event.

Thanks Jay!

But in looking at the photo now, I see that we didn't finish the lettering after the movie company repainted it last year ! I better let Friends HQ know about that.
