No, you were clear, Marshall. I was just talking about where 525 ended up.
Your chronology has 525 on PZ twice, with "Becky Thatcher" briefly thrown
in the mix in between. I've got that quoted in the PZ timeline on my
website.

There's an Otto Perry photo of 525 in PZ on page 12 of the Shovelnose
Burlington Bulletin, and it seems kosher. 525 has 5 large windows, then
door, then lav window like 500, but the large windows go right near the
end, obvious on that photo, as opposed to the large blank panel that 500
has. It's also photo 0004708 on the Western History/Genealogy Dept.,
Denver Public Library website. Photo 0004709 (apparently shot at the same
time) on the same site shows the train from the right hand side with 525.
Best regards,
