Hi Earl,

The sun was under clouds when we got to Los Pinos. I don't think John even bothered to take a photo.

The helper was supposed to be 3 cars further back but when the crew made up the train at Antonito, they cut a gon and two flats in behind the helper instead of between the tanks and the pipe cars as had been planned. It made the train look unbalanced on the long straightaway shots but it actually helped at MP 309 and a couple other places.
