Tks Ray! Now if we can get a witness to the Wyoming Centennial, we have it
covered. The Burlington issued a lot more PR in the case of the Aurora
commuting Centennial as i am not aware of anything other than a single page
flyer for the Wyoming event (a little more off the beaten patch albeit a more
scenic area)

I was at the Aurora centennial, road behind 5632 from CUS but on return, got
off at Berwyn station, my home town. I took lots of slides. At Aurora, several
pieces of Q equipment were on display, including 4-4-0 35 and mail car, freight
cars, a vista dome and I think some new engines. NO OTHER equipment was painted
in gold on that date.
