Mike's right, of course, and thus another sign of failing memory. Here's what the end of the roundhouse looked like (I think) prior to the fire. I think the fellow on the track to the right is Mick Conners and Jim Mayer is to his left, but that could be wrong too. Anyway, the photos on this same roll of film included the opening of the California Railroad Museum in Sacramento, so maybe the same year? I neglected to date this series of unloading the 493.
