I'm sure Ernie shot at least one roll of color, and probably a lot of b&w, but that slide is the only photo from May 12-13, 1975 which he has sent me for scanning.  Since – like Jerry – he doesn't post here on the NGDF, I'm afraid you're stuck with my shots (linked to above) for now.

Hi, Greg -

I haven't seen Ernie since the HTP Phraud-O-Phreight (see [ngdiscussion.net] et preq.) and Friends' M.O.W. (see [ngdiscussion.net]) excursions in the early Fall of 2015, but SFAIK he's still working on the big ATSF 4-8-4 in Albuquerque.
