What a couple of weird pictures! Just not right being that green in Carson City in July!
Good to see the engine running.

I was shooting at the V point of the Y in the visitor center parking lot. That area is always green and kind of swampy I'm sure it's feed by a natural spring.

How DARE they put American flags on this iconic locomotive on Independence Day, lol!

She looks great to me!!

The Nevada State theme is "Battle Born".
Use of flags/bunting on locomotives on the 4th dates back more than a century.
I was up there on the 4th also.

I was there on July 1 and got cab rides in #25, #22 "The Inyo" and the narrow gauge mogul Glenbrook!

I'm sure they meant no disrespect to the flags, but I would agree they are a little big for such a small engine. Personally, I'd go with flags about a quarter that size, two Nevada flags on the pilot and two next to the headlight. Maybe even some RWB bunting on the tender and cab.
