Now this has got to be my FAVORITE. Not only is it awesome to look at, but I was ecstatic to have been able to engineer and watch the smoke billowing from the stack. I told my fireman 'Smoke as much as you can, dude! This is a great excuse to do it!' Because we had Mike Ripley there taking pictures. To see this picture after it was taken was a moment for me because this old lady looks like a true coal burner. It was awesome. My mouth dropped open. We are never allowed to smoke the stack because of the EPA and because we operate in a theme park 1/3 the size of Disney. -.-

The smoke was thick and there wasn't that much wind, so it stuck around by Xcelerator(a roller coaster close by). My fireman and I couldn't even see a section of the track because of the smoke! We laughed about it until we got to the depot again. Good times. Thank you Mike Ripley!
