I have a runby or two of it operating at the Fair in Chicago. Been awhile since I looked at it, but probably similar to what it shows in your shots and later in service. The scenes from the fair may show up in some ongoing NG D^RGW footage I am working on as we show some footage around Marshall Pass and Salida. Wish we had some of it in service before it was retired. Interesting engine though!
