I don't know who was firing the 488 the day of this video but he was doing one heck of a fine job. He constantly kept a very light exhaust smoke and the pressure right up against the safety. That is not easy to do . Only once did the smoke get dark when the engine was about to go around Windy Point. A tip of the hat to the fireman. (Got to admit I like to see lots of smoke).
