Title:  2102 and 425 double heading across the Hometown high trestle
Description:  2102 is blowing it's mud ring, and a 425 crew member is on the rear deck of the tender, perhaps checking the water level in the tender's cistern. That would be a pretty exhilarating perch, on the open deck of the tender while crossing the high bridge.
