GOT ME!
BAD,.....
HOOK, LINE & SINKER...

ARRRRGH!

PS...
Always admired Steve, from the Rock Island days, and the strike-period---- 79-80.
Days of using 'officer crews'...

I think it was Newton, Iowa, headed East, that he ran out of rails to run on(?),

Rumor was that officer-dispatcher ( DesM) gave Steve bum info,

But, Steve 'documented' the dispatcher's apparent error, before leaving DesMoines & heading back to Silvis...

I never heard a peep about it, & while running on our ( following) return trip, from DeMoines,
we passed the scattered cars,
at the o/s road crossing...
[ IIRC, the Eastbound Main had rails at that crossing removed.... for a couple weeks...]

Great to see him back at the throttle again thanks for the pix, had hope it was for full scale tho. Oh well a smile on his face says it all.

That is mean! Got my hopes up.

Great photo of the boss. Where is this trackage at?

"Now look what they've done -- this thing was a Challenger
before they had to go and wash it in boiling hot water!! Now --
how're they ever gonna fix THIS??"

No window to lean out of?
