Love the pic and boy does it bring back an embarrassing memory. Copped a ride in a caboose back in the early 70s, and after a couple hours we stopped for a meet with another freight. The crew kinda neglected to tell me they were swapping trains. If I hadn’t noticed our engineer in the cab of the other loco as it passed our caboose, I would have ended up a lot closer to the Arctic Circle.

Too soon old, too late smart,
