What is the Last Known Regular Service N&W Steam Sound Recording?

[NW Mailing List]

 Link made two tape reels,  totaling 4 separate tracks, after the ones published on the LP.  These were designated CM and CN.  CM is on-train similar to the published recordings on 2nd Pigeon LP/CD.  CN is trackside near Mingo Tunnel.  Unfortunately the date is not exact.  Link's notes indicate that all the recordings made in this area (Williamson west) were between 3/7/60 and 3/19/60.  Taking into consideration the photos he took at about the same time, which are dated more accurately, I estimated the dates of both these recordings to be 3/17/60,  In any event, the last recording Link made was Tape CN, Track 2,  probably 3/17/60.  That's about the best I can do.

 Hello list,
I'm curious, is it known when the last audio recording of a regular service N&W steam run was made and who recorded it? O. Winston Link famously recorded Y6b #2190 on March 15, 1960, less than two months before the fires were dropped for good. That being said, I do wonder if another railfan recorded 2190 at a later date, and more importantly if the reel still exists. Any insight is appreciated.
Thanks,
