Bill,
First and foremost, thank you for keeping the dream alive for us railfans at the WW&F and the Maine Narrow Gauge Railway. You are in the public’s eye with professionalism, nostalgia, and safety consciousness; a great ambassador for our hobby. Plus, you look the part as a steam locomotive engineer.
Yes #17 is your hand, and pocket watch. Thanks for affording me the time to capture the image.
You are a sucker for low light silhouette shots – I’m a sucker for silhouettes in general.
Frame #24 is a lantern that Stewart pulled out of the collection. I believe it’s classified as an inspection lantern, he kept calling it a flashlight. The glass within the circle magnifies the light, I was surprises how well it works in low light. It was the first time I saw this style, now I’m on the lookout to purchase one.
