Happy Easter-Steam

That is what is chalked on the smokebox of West German(D
012 3 cylinder Pacific, Easter 1975. I made my last trip to Europe that year less than 2 months before the high-speed pacifics were withdrawn. A cab ride in 012-075 was the highlight of the trip as I was with the engine round-trip from Rheine(north of Cologne) to Nordeich Mole(North of Emden)for 6 hours a few days earlier. This was at Rheine where there were some 70-75 engines idle on this holiday. I may have posted this before, but hey its only good one day a year. All the best to steam fans everywhere.
