A Mikado for Christmas

In 1959 the jolly old elf himself looks on as he delivers a real live Mikado in time for Christmas.

Much more about this trip: To a locomotive in winter

I rode he Grand Canyon RR last year, but the 4960 was not running. You say it looked different, but did it also smell different, as I understand GC converted it to burn vegatable oil?
