Ah, yes - two beautiful photos, John -
The subject reminds me of a gang that used to hang out in the rocks a couple of miles northeast
of our nearby Santa Susana MetroLink depot - 'Crash Corrigan and the Range Busters'.
BTW, did any of that crusty snow scrape enough black paint off #489's jacket to reveal any of the
beautiful Dark Olive Green underneath?
