Dick Bell sent me the following message:
"I have an early photo from Bertha Hester Collection (wife of Walter Virden, engineer on the RGS) of loco 218 and an early day caboose. I think it was taken on the RGS. Could you post it for me? I would like more info about the caboose."
The picture is 1256 pixels wide, and I didn't want to edit it down or blow up your screens, so a link to the photo, and a thumbnail, are below.
