NKP 765 at MP 241, just below the Horseshoe Curve |
| Description: |
Shortly after the train's passage the talking defect detector visible in the foreground of this picture reported a hotbox on the train's second axle, to which NKP 765's crew reported back that what the defect detector had actually seen was the steam cylinder rolling past; not a hot box. Probably not the first time (or the last) that they've tripped a hot box detection. |

Not in the "best" photo category, but this one scores high in the "favorite" group of 2015 photos. There's something universal and magical about little boys waving up at locomotive engineers, and getting a wave back. This could have been me when I was four years old! |
