GREAT Photo, Tank!
Thank You for posting it!!
IIRC, this well-known and oft-posted photo of Ernie completing the "ownership transfer" of #483 from the Rio Grande to the CUMBRES AND TOLTEC SCENIC RAILROAD on September 1, 1970 caught him as he was filling in the gaps on his stenciled logo:
IIRC, that stencil got plenty of use during September and October of 1970. I have no idea when (presumably not "if") Scenic Railways developed their own "official" version of the logo and means for applying it to the rolling stock.
