That is why NS is smart to have ditch lights on the long hood end to run track speed in situations like this.

I was hoping to catch this but missed it, oh well!

Not smart to have the crews breathing in the exhaust.

Southern and N&W have been running long hood forward for century's with no problems with complaints of exhaust smoke

Hopefully it wasn't desktop controls.

REALLY!!!
Go ask the crews about inhaling exhaust. I guarantee your comment will be challenged.
Go ask doctors about risks of inhalation. I guarantee your comment will be challenged.
