John,
The great thing about the internet is the information. The more you post and try to caption, the more folks can respond to add, or correct things, that we cannot remember or maybe never knew. Back in the regular service days, every photo was likely a unique window into the daily life of the D&RGW, since there usually were not photo lines except on some of the excursions. I know I have been lacks on dating things, and when I do video now, I tend to talk into the mic and run off a little bit of tape before or after the shots, for dates, places and times. Today's still cameras do that automatically now, making that part a lot easier for the still guys.
Cheers,
Greg
