Grant--All my info came from an on-board passenger who made extensive notes while riding along on that trip. Dave Maffei (son of RR historian Frank Maffei) and owner of the original PCC-R&LHS scrapbook, scanned and emailed the guy's notes to me. NOT to say you're wrong--far from it.. Note takers and book authors have been known to be wrong.

Cheers.
