Roger, wht was "doctored"?

The whole left side has the following: Black & white, all signals and electronics removed, took asphalt road out and made it a gravel road. On the left side the Missouri Highway Patrol Museum loaned us the first Highway Patrol car, note that it was a convertible that stopped the speeding Model T. Also the Highway Patrol man is wearing the first uniform of the MO. Highway Patrol. The conductor is also wearing an old Frisco uniform that was loaned to us by the then Frisco Museum. On the left the Model T is stopped for speeding as is the Viper on the right side of the photo. And this is why the locomotives are stopped and waiting for the crossing to clear.

You have to remember that "doctoring" photos back in 1994 was a new thing. The photographer got a national award for this photo.
