I had forgotten you wrote about working at Climax, Olaf -
And presume the loco you are talking about riding around on was not #641, as IIRC she was long gone by 1966. Here she is early in 1961:
. . . and another Burlington loco – but at a much lower altitude – in Denver a few months later:
- El Abuelo Histœrico, Greengo y Curmudgeoño de los Locomoturas Viejos y Verdes,
aka Der Grossväterlich DünkelOlivGrünDampfKesselMantelLiebHabender
