Re: Chasing 484, 487, and 498 with Ernie and Joe Hereford on June 30, 1967

484 is leading the train into the sharp S-curve above Dalton, and 498 is pushing hard on the 4% grade
At the old Coxo crossing I walked up (not down) from the road to Perry's Pond, hoping to get a reflection shot, but the wind had picked up a bit too much by this time for a mirror surface
Here is 484 framed by the the two long gone RR Crossing cross bucks. The level water surface really marks the steepness of the RR grade
