Default OK, not what I would have done but if it makes the customer happy . . . .
The first of eleven new units out of our locomotive shop was given the final inspection by the customer today.

They wanted to christen the fleet, complete with pastor.

Glad they are happy!

Do those locomotives come with a sunroof, heated and cooled seats, and a navigation system?


Also, who is the cutie swinging the bottle? Glad to see she has on safety glasses, but wouldn't a full face shield be required for that? Safety first!
