Late afternoon and early evening, 08/28/68 - the very last
westbound revenue freight on the D&RGW narrow gauge:
Here's Eldon Morgan following Horace Greeley's advice -
"Go West, Young Man" ...
... and #484 following a bit later.
See [ngdiscussion.net] for some B&W photos of #498 taken an hour or so later in the evening.
- Roosso
p.s. Earl told me last June that Eldon - now in his eighties - is doing well, and is a regular visitor to the SLRG.
