Very unique and cool photo, Steve!

One of my fondest rail memories is watching good ol' 70+ year-old hogger Harold Borevec leaning out his cab window whacking away at the low-hanging branches with his machete when we rode the Chehalis-Centralia Railroad on a special a few years back. Harold gave me my first steam cab ride in Mt. Rainier Scenic's 2-8-2 #5 one winter many years ago and I've never forgotten it. A grand hogger if ever there was one!

Again, excellent photo!

--Tom
