Thanks, John -

Were you on either of the Jim Trowbridge (sp?) specials in September, 1996? Somewhere in my archives I have a 6x7 cm shot of #463 coming at us around this bend; it didn't seem worth paying for a photo print at the time due to rather flat light, but now that I have a scanner and two expert advisers* looking over my shoulder maybe I'll dig it out and play with it a little ... **

** {Added 10/18/13} OOooops - creeping senility strikes again! It was #497, not #463, leading the train at Big Horn - see [ngdiscussion.net].
