Thanks for the shot Jeff. I visited this line in 1989. I was 11 at the time, and the guy we were staying with knew people down there, and got us a cab ride. About half way into the outbound trip, the engineer called me up into the seat and put his glove on my hand. It went down to my elbow but I didn't care. For about 2 miles, I was at the throttle of the #201, and even got to blow for a crossing on the line (near a dog kennel as I remember). Blew the crew's mind when an 11 year old kid blew the right whistle combo for a crossing. Good times!!!!
