Were you taking movies instead of stills on Nov. 21 & 22, Olaf?
I don't remember you sending me any 35mm negs identified as from that day. At least I don't have any .tifs in my 'From Others' folder labeled 671121x## . . .
To make up for the lack of stills from late November, here's one you took of #493 departing Antonito westbound a couple of weeks later:
