Russ we did the same on a 1968 trip to Yoder. On the manline I was in the vestibule with a guy who was clocking MP, and we were doing about 90 also. Nice to hang out the vestibule and not get cinders, but I miss the coal smoke smell in those damn oil-burners! Here is another nice engine shot in 1980 (Nickel Plate 2-8-4 765, built right here in Ohio).
