I would like to see one of SPs cab forward Mallets done AND of course making sure the 49 stays in good shape.
I guess what I am afraid of is that the 49 crew would not be able to keep up. (everybody ages) Then in would step a "Know it All" engineer and that would be the start of the end.
I don't want to blow any BS up Macs tender. but without him and Steve Lee, that would have been the end of main line steam in the Western US.
There are other people, too numerous to mention. Even retired officers from BN/SF and UP, working behind the lines. You folks know who they are so when you see them, thank them.
Sorry, back to the original question, A Mallet and a GS.
