Sorry, guys -
Only three out of five show K-37's,and only two but those three all feature #491 ...
After the shots posted above, I wandered around the turntable to where #484 was parked with #493 coupled behind her:
Back in 1962, Durango was MUCH more casual than today; it was a cool evening, so on the way back to my car I climbed into#484's #491's* cab to warm up for a few minutes:
One more shot of #491 before heading back to my car:
The Morning After The Night Before, from the tender of #484. There's some snow around, but not much for late January - assuming the date of 620131 on the neg holder is correct:
A while later #484 and #493 headed for the water tower, then on to Carbon Junction with an eastbound freight:
I've scanned another dozen or so, but haven't had time to touch them up.** Plus my butt and neck are getting sore from sitting at the 'puter all afternoon, and it's time to fix dinner for Bosco & Otis ...
- Roosso
* Per a recent post from Mike Spera of the CRRM - seconded by Earl Knoob - the photo IS of #491's backhead (see [ngdiscussion.net] and [ngdiscussion.net], below).
** As noted previously, most of my older slides and negatives are badly scratched 'cause the camera I was using in those days had gotten a cinder in its eye. (Gee, I wonder how THAT happened?
). Retouching the scans manually is tedious, but all of the automatic cleaning programs seem to get confused by the piping and all the rivets ...
