EW>As for detectors, I wish I'd brought an audio level meter with me
EW>yesterday. It was the first time I'd ever heard a 4-8-4 at speed
EW>coming up a grade with two tenders and 20 cars in tow. That animal was
EW>sure barking away! When it went under the bridge I was standing on
EW>there was a very noticable bump in my feet, almost as if the bridge
EW>had been hit by a speeding truck from underneath! I'm glad I was on
EW>the end of the bridge instead of directly over the tracks. I'm still
EW>picking cinders out of my ears. Now if only the ringing noise would
EW>stop :)
 
Where did you get to see a 4-8-4 in this day and age???!!!
