The mirror is real handy when watching for the hand signals of the Brakeman or Conductor while running forward. From Sumpter to Hwy. 7 I usually sit in the window as we run in reverse, sometimes I stand up on the curves and look over the tender. Once we pass over Hwy 7 I like to sit facing forward and use the mirror because it is such a straight open stretch to McEwen from there.

I've heard a few scoff at the mirrors, but I use them a lot.
