CVR220 et al -

As one of Tom's fellow Curmudgeons, I feel compelled to nit-pickily point out that the photo in question is NOT from the Gildersleeve Collection within The Friends' archive of RR photos, but is from the HUGE Richard Dorman collection (of which there are 255 galleries, each containing dozens – if not hundreds – of photos).  In addition to the Dorman and Gildersleeve collections, The Friends' collection of Historic RR Photos includes galleries from five other photographers so far – Berkstresser, Lowrance, Payne, Spence & Sperry – and IIRC the Robart collection has been donated to The Friends as well.  (See [ngtrainpics.photoshelter.com].)
Also, 'El Curmudgeoño del Sur' (as Tom refers to himself) once pointed out to me quite emphatically that there's no 'u' in Gildersleeve . . .
