Thanks, William -

1954 is at least a couple of years earlier than I thought for the wrong-way slant.

Does Jerry have any info as to when #487 - and #497 - underwent major shopping
in the early fifties? Which shop they were in, Salida or Alamosa, and which year
could help identify when this happened and possibly even who was (ir)responsible.

p.s. Please note that my signature, above, is correctly slanted for the engineer's side of this post! eye rolling smiley
