Yeah, it was pretty much a life-completing day, considering that I rode with the SMS crew all day (10 hours) in the B23-7's and then an SW1200RS once we got back to the yard.

Imagine two B23-7's in notch 4 dynamic brakes rolling down a 1.4% grade on the former Delaware & Hudson mainline with 25 loaded autoracks behind them......

Check out the pic I just uploaded of me on the front porch.

Hypothetically, if there were to have been photos of me in the engineer's seat of the #4211 during the aforementioned downgrade dynamic brake-ridden run, it would unfortunately be illegal for me to possess them or post them, as such hypothetical photos would suggest that I hypothetically operated said locomotive for most of the aforementioned downgrade run.....
