I will see if I can get a good still of it and post it. Your DVD is absolutely awesome and has some really amazing footage that has never been seen, especially the scenes on the loop and the 492 on the Farmington branch. Another favorite is the pacing scene with 0517 and 491. It did appear the crews were amused by "some guy" filming them and the train! I always wonder what the D&RGW crews thought about the foamers?!
