  Wonderful!! I enjoyed every minute of it. Brought back many nice memories of when I was a kid and steam still went by our house in the late 40's

  The echo of the whistle amongst the mountains brought back a memory of only a few years ago on a 470 Fall excursion to Fabyans and back...there was a run by from southern end of Willis Brook Trestle and as the F7 tooted its horn as it approached the trestle from the north, it echoed through the Notch.

  I remember one of the WMSR crew shutting off the air to the butterfly doors on 734 just as the fireman had a big ol&apos; scoop full of coal going full force to go up the middle and WHAM! stopped him cold. &nbsp;They were used to playing pranks like that on each other so it was no hard feelings. &nbsp;The shots @ <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBb2udlAx14&amp;t=780">13:00</a>, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBb2udlAx14&amp;t=855">14:15</a> and &nbsp;<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBb2udlAx14&amp;t=942">15:42</a> are just beyond incredible!!!! &nbsp;Perfect light and composition!

  Great stuff, I really enjoyed watching Sam fire up the hill. I had a rig to throw in there, but Russell was concerned about it falling off due to how cramped the cab was. Nice job.

  WOW! Not much room to swing that shovel and hit the back corners! &nbsp;The cab curtains are such a classic. &nbsp;I don&apos;t know why that winds my watch, but watching the pacing shots and seeing the curtains closed with the glow from the firebox is so cool! &nbsp;And the fact 20 is STILL COAL! &nbsp;that had to be a sweet aroma!
