TWO PHOTOS taken from aboard the Red Unit (--said to be while they were rolling through New Miami, Ohio--) by JOSH W. WILKINSON, Red Unit Pie Car staff, are below:

(1) ...looking toward the rear, with the flats coming into view around the curve
(2) ...looking ahead from the same vestibule

'Another image from JOSH -- either in Ohio or Kentucky; I'm not sure which -- where someone in a pickup truck was 'priviledged' enough to be caught at a crossing by the Red Unit Circus Train; what does the general public think when they see THIS train, or its sister train (the Blue Unit) at any given public crossing, or anywhere in North America?
