Right you are, Olaf -

As an insomniac dyslexic agnostic, I was lying awake last night wondering if there really was a dog (other than Otis, who was lying next to me keeping my back warm), when it occurred to me that having different engines the third day didn't make ANY sense, and planned to go back through Tom's photos this morning to double check the dates, so thank you for saving me the trouble.  It appears that when copying photos from the backup disk he gave me years ago that I moved a group of five March '63 photos to my March '64 group, so the mix-up is all my fault.   Thank You for the corrections!! *

p.s.  There are a great many photos of #491 in Tom's collection, many of which appear in his slide show and IIRC several were featured in the article he wrote for Classic Trains a few years ago.

*  I thought about deleting the two out-of-place photos from my second post, but then your two posts – and this one – wouldn't make any sense.  It looked like the best thing to do was just edit it appropriately, which I have now done.
