I have a great shot of S.P. 4-6-2 #2472 (NNG) coming out of the fog near Guadalupe, but there is a guy in a bright shirt riding the front of the diseasel "helper" that pulls your eye away from 2472 and right to the diseasel. I spent hours once trying to cover him over with 'built up' diseasel cab copied from other parts of the photo, but the result wasn't worth the effort by a long way.
