Here you go, Olaf -
One of Ernie Robart's relatively rare color slides of D&RGW freight operations, taken at Falfa Siding on July 5, 1967. SFAIK, this one hasn't been posted before

There's also a photo by Ernie of the NPS Special passing Falfa Siding eastbound on Nov. 23, 1968 — it's the fourth one on [
ngdiscussion.net].
I found no photos of the siding at Falfa on John West's site. A quick look through The Friends' collection of Tom Gildersleeve's photos shows a few shots of a set-out at Oxford in the early sixties that I had mis-remembered as Falfa, but nothing else.
