Archie:

The slides came from Dave Van Drunen, who was a longtime BRHS member from Galesburg.  He moved to Denver around 1990 and lived about a mile from me, working days at Caboose Hobbies and nights for US Bank.  He later moved to Arvada, Colo., about two miles from me this time.  Sadly, he died about two years ago.  The slides were taken by his dad, P.C. Van Drunen, who worked for the Q, first in the steel car shop at Galesburg, and after it closed, in the material yard, where he was the locomotive crane operator.  He retired from BN ater 45 years as a machinist and has since died.  I have about a dozens of the duplicate slides Dave had made, including three views of 9915B leading the California Zephyr exhibition train before inauguration of the CZ in March 1949.  Hope this solves the mystery of these photos.

Archie,

Check your file name for this attachment.

I am seeing the file name as "49er.jp2"

Shouldn't be "49er.jpg" ?
