One omy most cherished memories is 487 and 497 struggling up that hill across US160/550 back in 1967. The sound was awesome that big 3 chime on 487 sent a chiver straight to my soul.
It stil echos around in there to this day.
and, no didn't bother to take a picture. Camera was neatly packed in the trunk of Dad's brand new 1967 Mustang. No need for a picture, they did this ALL the time right? Boy was I a dummy. At least I still have the mental pic and sound track.
