Golly Roger, they just had to have some cab shots taken, and of course being the good soldier, you bucked up and did your duty. Tough work, but somebody had to do it, huh! Great pix. Hot, loud, dirty. Those were the days when being an engineer meant as Marlena Dietrich said in Touch of Evil "some kind of man."

YUP!! on some one had to do it. It was a fun trip with gooood company.
Cab rides are not that frequent, glad you got one. I was happy, just riding to the Wye. Now I want you to ride the "dog house" up to Cumbres, so I can get a shot of a real Man.

Excellent shots Roger. Some guys just have all the luck. Only thing better than riding one of these fine locos would be a ride in one of the Westside Lumber Co. Shay type locomotives.

Yep I (we) do. It is not the most common name out there. I was named after my Mom's cousin, a young soldier KIA in Normandy so my name is VERY special to me.
