Description
Just kidding lol.
I kept this for the last upload of the steam train. The Engine drivers were really great they invited you up into the cabin to take a photo, and Mums and dads would lift their kids up. Great stuff.
Thanks to all who have given some great comments.

Great capture Alan, very nice to see the old enamel brew can keeping the tea warm on top of the fire box, I used to have one when I first started work at the brickworks, mine was coffee though. Excellent nostaligic shot. Bravo!!!!!

I had a chance to go back into the engine compartment of an Amtrak train and stand withing 2 ' of a 16 cylinder diesel engine running.it was an experience I will not forget.the noise was unbearable but I did get a picture while I was there.they just recently restored the paint on several locomotives at the local museum and when the weather permits I will return and take pictures.will send you a link if you like.I can only imagine the heat one could feel from the open firebox.excellent capture

A very interesting shot Alan. Thanks for sharing. I had a chance to go on a diesel locomotive in Buenos Aires while they were putting together a train. It is a good feeling being up there where the action is. Nice series, Sig...

Coming form a long line of railroad men (Illinois Central, Missouri Pacific, Gulf and West Texas, and Pullman) all I can say is "Way cool firebox and controls view!"
