Re: D&S flanger extra--More PICS! -- 1917 movie

Thanks to Erik for the postings. I to would love to see that. Carl told me of a time clearing the line north outta chama to windy point when they came on to icy rails. He was on the point engine. flanger then second engine followed up with a red tail. He knew by coxo that he was in trouble do to the engineer in the second engine not giving enough throtle and giving him drag. when he got stuck they cut the second engine out to head back for help. (I don't think he derailed?) any how he and the fireman hung out. (this is the funny part that makes the story) He had an orange, ONE orange! He waited to eat it cause that's all he had til they got to Cumbres. Finally he couldn't take it , hunger one out and he started after that orange. LOL. They had the fire box doors open for acouple blast of heat here and there, when the darnest thing happened. Here came the relief train around the corner BLAM (ok drama) it hit with enough of a jolt that that darn orange ended up in the darn fire! That was a ROUGH night!
