Thank You for posting Larry's photo, Dave -
Do my tired old eyes see Randy standing next to the pilot beam on the engineer's side, and Jeff (in beard) up on the deck to his left?
Well done, guys!!! One of my all-time favorite locos back in steam!! Now to get her out to the east side of the C&TS - somewhat reminiscent of Mina to Benton on the S.P. narrow gauge - while I'm still around to enjoy it!
