Over on Lance Myers' excellent photo website there's a unique shot (see below link) of EBT Mike "1415". Recently 14's tender had to be taken out of service for repair, so they continued the show with "half 14 / half 15". It sure pays to have a roundhouse full of similar locomotives! Also it appears that Stan Hall made good on his promise to return 14 to its "tourist look" of red cab roof, white trim, and brass boiler bands. While the photogs loved the "basic black", Stan mentioned he definitely prefers the "tourist look". After all the paint scheme has 43 years of tradition behind it!

I remember the same tender swap being done in the 70's. |
