It looks like the operator cut the string too long--it should be taut between the two tines of the fork.

Mark, you should contact the railroad and let that professional steam railroader know that he made a mistake.

It's a great photo, Doug, no issues there. Maybe he corrected the issue a moment later. I handed up orders for three years on the Illinois Central, thus I spot the little things that subtract from authenticity, from my point of view.

Understood Mark, I am not sure if they corrected it or not. Usually the Lerro guys are spot on with accuracy during these charters and the strasburg guys are pretty sharp so I would imagine it is a simple oversight.
