Right, on Track 9 you can even tell that 488 was running a little slower than the two "lead" engines on the supposed train. I had always wondered why everyone wore the shades. Im going to guess that it was mainly for safety reasons so that you werent blinded by the sun in the early morning or late afternoon. I work on a boat and know what its like...
