Then this should bring back memories for you: [railpictures.net]

And what's worse than having two of 'em as your power? Having three (and note the name of the photographer): [railpictures.net]

But wait, it gets worse! (Must've been weekend servicing move at Taylor Roundhouse - the photo was taken at the south side of the Ramp.) [railpictures.net]

On the other hand, the 415s came with built-on card tables, handy for playing tonk on. (That was the purpose of the head man, wasn't it?)
