Joe - driver and I were watching a lot of coal trains go by and many had a helper on the very end. They run backwards so you see the cab very last. We both had the same thought - what if we saw a human in the cab? I think I would spend at least 10 min trying to get my heart to quit pounding - That is right up there with going to a funeral and seeing the body sit up!

That 2816 is a beautiful loco, no doubt about it!

Glad you got to see it, I hope it comes around my way again sometime.
