    Isn’t that something? Could have been from the thirties save for the crazies hanging out the windows. :o ) Nowadays most rides insist on the windows being closed to protect the vulnerable from the big bad cinders.

    Gentlemen… thank you for the nice comments. I selected this image out of a sequence of three shots. The others were more about the locomotive… nothing particularly special. This shot was pretty simple and I liked the people hanging out of the coach windows. I prefer to think of them not as “Crazies”, but rather as “Image Enhancers”.
    Welcome back, Arnold… we missed you Brother!

    Thanks for the kind word, Peter. It is a pick-me-up considering the exchange I had with a dinner-date friend. I says “I’m back”!! She says, “You left”??

    Look on the bright side, Arnold… at least she remembered you!

    I love this – could be any decade after 1900…. to 1950..

    I rode a 2816 excursion in 2004 from CP (TH&B) Aberdeen Yard to Welland, and I was hanging out the vestibule nearly the entire time. It was glorious.
