I agree 100%, Barbara, Linda and (Notso) Wacky Roger -

VERY nice!!   But watching your fine video closely did raise a question — when did the "Tell-tales" (or "Tell-tails"?) disappear from outside the portals of the two tunnels?  Per my photos at the west portal of Toltec Tunnel #2 (aka the 'Rock' tunnel) taken on 10/22/72, the "tails" that warned brakemen on the car-tops that they were nearing a tunnel were already gone by then:


. . . but when did the pipe "frames" that held them disappear?
