Engineman's Duties

As R711 simmers away in platform 4, the first driver of the day adorns the smokebox with a floral decoration.

 

Back at Newport, he had written the important chalk message, ready for all eyes and cameras to come onto the locomotive on the mainline.

 

Here, Bottlebrush is being tied onto both of the Deflectors shortly before he attaches a daffodil to the smokebox wheel.

 

A testiment to his work, the flowers managed to hold on for the ride at 50MPH.
