The picture of 498 from the roof of the Lava tank was taken on June 30, 1967. Ernie Robart put me up to climbing up there with him. He published an almost identical picture in "Rio Grande the Final Years" on page 103. His photo, attached below, was taken a few seconds earlier. The book also has a couple of other photos taken at that time. I don't know if that book is still available. I enjoy looking at it for it's photos and excellent time documentation. Many of us wish he would still be with us ( and be doing the long planned next volume, Chama to Durango) Sigh!
