When I first looked at your last one above I thought that might be me on the front platform of the coach, Olaf -
I rode one of the trips behind Eureka several years ago, on the front platform part of the time, and in addition to the following photo taken on the Little High Line I have a BIG cinder-burn hole in a blue chambray shirt as a souvenir:
Well, right location but wrong date — off by two years minus one day. My memory is fading, but fortunately my digital photos are date-stamped; the above was taken 08/20/2010, slightly less than two years prior to yours.
