Nice, Olaf -
Colorful indeed! Placing one or more of those bright yellow reefers right behind the engine is a feature – IMHO not a bug – of several C&TS charters, including the Toltec Rattler of 10/22/1972:
. . . and 'Springtime in the Rockies' on 05/25/2010:
For Ernie's August '68 B&W photos taken from roughly the same location as yours – now part of the verboten Lobo Lodge (or whatever it's called) – see [ngdiscussion.net].
