Cool Cab |
| Description: |
G.N. 2523's cab. Ah for the days when visitors could readily visit the cabs of preserved steam engines. Those darn vandals had to spoil things for everybody. |

At Last! |
| Description: |
I had not seen a preserved Great Northern steam engine before. Sure I've seen the William Crooks up in Duluth, but the Crooks was for a predecessor road. At last, I have finally seen and photographed a Great Northern steamer: Mountain 2523, on display in Willmar for over fifty years. |

Tony In The Engineer's Seat |
| Description: |
GN 2523's cab was open depsite the Kandiyohi County Museum being closed, which offered me and my friend Andy chances to photograph each other in the cab. Here I am in the hallowed engineer's seat, playing out a childhood daydream of growing up to be an engineer. |
