Right, John -
We have not yet gotten Conductor Loomis' O-K, and the schedule - depending on where and how many photo run-bys happen that afternoon will have a lot to do with what's possible. It may not be dark enough to justify using flashbulbs until we are well on our way back to Antonito - such as maybe at Lava Tank or Hangman's Trestle - IF there's enough time left to even stop at one or the other.
OTOH, just ONE of those big bulbs is almost enough to catch a movinggreen black locomotive, so a relatively lighter-colored M.O.W. train should show up pretty well. Here's a full size re-post of a shot taken at Lobato 43 years ago this month:
