I done found 'em, John -
The negatives, at least. No shots of the run-by on Sherman or 'The Fleet' passing by, so I must have a box of slides still hiding somewhere that weren't good enough to make it into my "moldy-oldie slide show" tray. The building in the background is a dead giveaway, and #844 was still #844:
There must have been a short run-by on the siding after the passenger trains passed.
I don't see myself in your photo, but you may be in the background of this one of mine:
Dang foamers, always getting the way . . . but at least you didn't yodel!
