Archie/Leo - The 1957 approximate date would fit as 9903 "Injun
Joe" and its Mark Twain Zephyr were retired by the Q a few years later prior to,
I think, 1960. I do not have my BRHS Bulletin Shovelnose issue handy for an
exact retirement date. 9903 and its train set still exist in private ownership
and partially dismantled condition awaiting possible restoration. In viewing the
images, I originally had thought the two men in suits might've
been the sons or sons-in-laws of the engineer and his wife and the children
being their grandchildren. To me, the two men don't look "railroad" being
grouped with the women and children instead of standing to the side next to the
engineer as the conductor is shown in one of the images. The style of
clothing also fits the late 1950s. If the occasion was a 50 year pin, then
Engineer Liz certainly had longevity in his genes as the man appears robust for
his age. Thanks for sharing these two great "Q people" images. Best Regards
