499 at Snowshed and big brother 3614 at Salida

(1) Here is that 499 excursion again with the engine about to enter a snowshed on a curve. I believe someone told me this the top of Marshall Pass.
(2) 2-8-8-2 3614 is moving around the Salida yard. The photographer also got a passenger train arrival with a 4-8-4, plus another big guy 3603 moving around the service area. This was all prior to the gunnison material and the 499 trip.
(3) Speaking of the 499 trip, here is the end of the train with the guys riding on the caboose. Try that today on the D&S or C&TS.
