Back up at the coal tipple Mike Harkleroad sits in the engineers seat as Dave watches before a test run. I(Bill Deptowicz) took over running the club's GP38 and shortly the sky opened up with a downpour that Mike and I among others got caught out in.

Being soaked thru to the skin I offered Marie a hug which she finally said O.K. and we posed for this shot with Carley Guy. East Wind up on a steaming bay doing a blowdown of his boiler in the pouring rain.

Telephoto shot from the station of East Wind during his blowdown after his fire was dropped. The streaking in the foreground was rain caught in the flash as it poured down raining which at times was very heavy.
