    This may be a truly one-of-a-kind photo: First find the man standing atop #657 at left; he's refilling the sand dome. Then look for his enlarged shadow in the STEAM that's venting upward between him and the camera! This is made possible by the fact that the sun, which is low enough to be blocked by the locomotive, is directly behind him. I wonder if Richie knew this was going to happen or just got lucky?!

    Is there a way to obtain the scanned tif file of that image? Or at least, an image larger than 1000 pixels wide?

    Impeccable light management in this view, the way Richie again blocked what would otherwise be blinding sunlight using the sand tower support.
