Interesting changes

I was watching the train come in at our local depot this morning and noted that the 482 was not decked out in American flags, and it occurred to me that none of the engines I've seen this year have had the flags. Now we have a defining point for photos of D&S trains with American flags.
And the station agents, Chris Tookey and Lynn Hutson, have been using a train order hoop with attached messages to hand up to the fireman on each arriving train for the past several weeks--another nice touch. The ladies are also dressed in appropriate Victorian attire for their duties as station agents and the overall effect is very good.
