No.  My two shots are Kodachrome slides.  This appears to be northbound, mine are definitely southbound.

I photographed the 4960 southbound north of Keokuk, IA on 20 April 1963.  I noted on my slide that it was pulling an 18 car "passenger special."  The first car appears to be a Burlington coach.  I lived in Fort Madison at the time.  It may have been a school children's excursion, but I don't from know where to where.

I've now got three photos of 4960 in or around Keokuk on what seems to be a fan trip.

Two have it headed north and one south.

Suggestion for one is that the trip happened in May, 1963.

I've checked the great spreadsheet in the files section, but no mention -- only trips from St. Louis to Hannibal.

Anyone have any info?
