This is the 1997 rotary since it had the 3 Rio Grande engines for our charter a few days later. 488 has C&TS lettering, and we swapped with the 484 tender which was not opertional at that time, but had been used in the fall charters by John Craft. The last year the OY ran with redish brown paint was 1995 I believe.
Williams shot is no doubt by John Norwood or someone else who worked for the railroad. Richardson probably got the shot from them for his collection. I doubt Bob made that trip.
