Thankfully no !
Unfortunately the division I worked for was essentially the bastard stepchild, seemed like every engine we had on our roster were crap that the other divisions were dumping for new modern stuff. I think the covered wagons, F series, on the unscheduled road trips were abolutely the worst.

Doug - Gotcha. Any pics of you from the B&O days...?
Fife, He be facing the right way. They were still running long hood forward when I was a fireman for the Best & Only in the mid 60's until my jeans & plaids were traded in for blues and fatigues.
That's the style, Dougnotta. Run that B&O Geep long-hood forward, but tell the engineer to turn around. Our host railroad, the South Branch Valley, still paints their engines in that B&O scheme, and it's always cool passing them along the way.
Wow, for being 12 years old those fruits and veggies still look great !

Love it Fife! VERY impressive!
