  1. Wow!

  2. Great image. I always liked seeing those units configured that way. The northbound would have just passed over the south end spring switch at Rosedale.

  3. Shiny spark arrestors on all units. Great scene, John.

  4. Green & gold with neat lettering, or black and red with the white noodle – which do you prefer ? Thanks for your comments.

  5. Green and gold was the best for me.

  6. Things you do not notice until there are 2 units together. The 1317 has louvres on the long hood along the top of the doors. The 1239 has these louvres along the bottom of the doors.
    They both have the white flags flying, but, reduced to just white cloth around the stick. In my experience, the flag part being torn off for giving hand signals when at a distance from the engine. :-)
