Nah, the fireman (yours truly) was ringing the bell and trying to look good for the photographers. He didn't really care who was taking pictures that day as long as the railfans (marauding and otherwise) were keeping back from the track (and they were).

Thanks, Drew, for the fine picture and the memories of a fun weekend on the late, great McCloud.
