My Big Brother...!!

See if you can spot my Big Brother Mike as he is on a privileged assignment to crew a steam monster from Sparks Nevada over to Roseville Cal.

We look a lot alike so lets see who guesses first.

OK, he's the "freight conductor" and is sitting behind the engineer- yep, the big guy with the grey hair!

He's actually the "Boss" of the whole train. Tells the Engineer where to go, what is the train's "consist" and where to pick up and drop off all freight being moved. The Engineer just drives the engine and says Yes Sir! Mike even tells the Engineer when he can blow his whistle and which window to peee out of! Mike has a Dodge truck and 5th wheel trailer for sale. I told him to list it on our for sale thread so lets see if he does what I told him to do!! Mike used to drive his cruiser "Kermit", it's the green one in my picture. Sadly, Kermit is somewhere else now.

Gotta stop every 60-100 miles to grease the main bearings..!! That's a job for Jiffy Lube! That is one big sheetload of heavy iron for sure!
