Not the greatest picture, but by chance they were together today in the yard. I thought it was a neat comparison of sizes, and of modern narrow gauge power in steam and diesel. 73 is running tomorrow for the Monday noon trip as usual. 114 has been holding down work train duties but has been in Skagway over the weekend. The camera battery died before I could get the next angle in better sun with the 52 in the background.
