What!! Shawn not ready to listen??? NO!!!
I think we all have stories about turning on the Rockwood wye and dealing with that stub. I have some video that I took in 1986 of the 497 running to Rockwood to rescue an ailing 480. The shots of easing the whole mess around the wye and opening up the smoke box of the 480 to determine the steaming problem are interesting. I belive that Bobby Huffman was involved in all this. And as I recall Jeff, you were the fireman on the 480.
