This one seems a bit much, but Jack is ever the crowd pleaser..

Nice photo, but I don't think that's me. I seem to recall some "firing issues" on that trip. Like maybe not enough atomizer?

Too much, or not enough, of something!

I remember one trip with poor quality fuel. Could this have been the trip?

Oh, that is a beautiful picture, sir! And you can even see her individual "chugs" in the shapes of the vapor and smoke cloud!

What????? I don't think so Margaret, as it doesn't look like she is even working all that hard.

Must be a coal burner ?????

Aw, this must have been the First Day of Climate Change/Global Warming that Mr. Al Gore speaks of. BS!
I like this pic and wish I'd been there at the time to witness and breath in some of it.
Reminds me of some days in the late 40's when I as a youngster sitting on the corner post of our farm fence
by he Rock Island's GSL as the 5000 and 5100 Series locos passed by at times with flues being sanded.
The aroma of Bunker C oil and steam lingers in my senses yet to this day.

Too much? Not a chance!
