The engineer gmves a wave as CR GG1 4861 leads 4802 eastbound with mixed freight on June 11, 1977.

View eastbound from the cab of GG1 4861 while paused on the Trenton Cutoff.

While I took an overall view of the pair of GG1's beginning to roll eastbound, my buddy stayed trackside and received a wave from our host engineer. While waiting for clearance earlier, the engineer invited us up for a great view inside the cab of 4861. By the way, I wonder who drew the cartoon face on the grimy black nose? Photo by permission.
