Re: RGS - new photos added

There was some misinformation about some of my photos. The photos of Goose 6&7 were shot in Durango at the Brinkerhoff's in the summer of 1972. I obtained permission to enter the property with the disguise of my friend who was a newspaper reporter on doing a feature on some of the old relics in the area. I remember that they wanted around ten thousand dollars for the two geese. The older shots at KNOTT'S were shot around 1968. I shot quite a few photos of 463's restoration in 1973 and 1974 which included some of the shots of goose #3 in the parking lot headed to the old shop building. Some of my earlier photos show the orginal enginehouse located where the Calico Mine Ride is now located. The later photo was taken during the last railroad day held at Knott's in 2002. This was a very neat event that was well attended and hopefully the crew at Knott's can pull one off again. Ihave almost worn out my t-shirt from the event and could use a new one. Ted Van Klaveren
