Probably wondering if the bridge will hold up to the weight of the engine. I know I had that same pose a few times on some of the bridges on the Coos Bay Branch before SP sold it.

He's trying to figure out what that funny sound coming from the engine is.

Overpeck Crick in '74? He's probably wondering what the sludge is that's floating by.

Sure, a circa 1974 "texting device" - pretty hard to carry around and responses were a bit slow but it got the job done..
