The design and consistently matching paint job advertis ed a quality train. The freight steamer at right was waiting to follow the 'Builder' out. Crewman said these diesel engines were the first where a cup of coffee could rest on a shelf without spilling while the train was moving. Even the newest steam engines were soon called rib bruisers or other unpleasant names describing a rough ride. [HW] ' Other subject classes: Dsl Loco / Pass Trn
