That was a typical pose for Gary in the early years of the C&TS, Earl -
Here he is on #484 as she pulls ahead of a heavy eastbound passenger train that road engine #483 is about to bring across Lobato Trestle:
I think that's Richard Braden (employee2 here on the NGDF) in the helper's cab, but I'm not 100% sure.
