Re: 476 update

Back in the early eighties, Richard Braden (employee#2) and I were working the Saturday day shift at the Durango Roundhouse. We were doing some work on 476 at the time that involved reaming out some holes and making new tapered bolts to go in them. Amos Gordova came buy for a quick visit as he was providing a tour of the yard for a free-lance photographer.

A year or so later, Amos came buy looking for me while I was working another Saturday shift, and gave me a copy of Personnel Journal. Looks like Rich and I made the front cover. That is Rich down below doing the real work, while I was pretending to do something to satisfy the photographer.

It will be good to see her on the road again........
