As you pointed out previously, the beetle in my August 28 photo of the westbound double-header on the three-rail between Alamosa and La Jara is your brother's car with you driving (hopefully NOT steering with your knees à là Festus). The beetle in my August 29 photo of #484 in Antonito with #498 in the background appears to be a lighter bluish-green, which could be your blue VW only if that section of the slide faded a lot more than the rest of it - VERY unlikely. Also, IIRC, you have previously stated that you didn't catch up to the train until La Jara, so that is someone else's car in the bad choice of parking location - probably the same tan-jacketed person who made a selfish choice of standing location ...
