Thanks, Larry -

John West - aka The Troll JéBêWèX - was initially a bit skeptical of the "Springtime" excursion with green-jacketed #489 (a 60th-Anniversary commemoration - NOT a re-creation - of the Rocky Club's 1950 excursion on the D&RGW for which #489 was dolled up in Moffat Green), but nonetheless offered his support and eventually became an enthusiastic participant in the adventure.  For a few more shots taken that day - May 25, 2010 - see [ngdiscussion.net] et seq.

p.s. Here's a shot of two of the more notorious Curmudgeons rumored to hang around the C&TS at various times of the year:
