I'm not sure what engine is on today's train, but I will go down to the Silverton depot shortly, after today's Memorial Day event down Greene Street, and salute the arriving engine. Those of us who were around chasing these trains 50 and more years ago are fellow survivors of a time etched in memory, and fortunately also in these great photos.
