Those two photographs on e-Bay were taken by the late Bob Gurley, the son-in-law of the late Richard H. Steinmetz.   I printed both negatives years ago but I should have done it as 8x10s ? only did it as 616 double size because I was cheap at the time (I was in my 20s then and newly married and with kid).  

Since then Dick died, Bob passed away, then Bob's son (who was active at Railways to Yesterday) and probably in his 40s at the time, also expired.   I have no idea what happened to the negatives.   They could be in the RTY library or maybe the surviving sister has them?
