FOR TODAY: It's crew change time at the yard.
Engineer Harcourt Waller waves to hostler Emit Pruet as number 75 pulls forward to take on water. Harcourt is done for the day and he's excited to get home to Sunday supper! The Mrs. says she has something special prepared for this evening's meal! Pork chops, gravy, taters, cornbread and collards perhaps? .... with strawberry shortcake and whipped cream for desert?! Just the thought makes Harcourt's mouth water! I hope he doesn't get a speeding ticket driving his new 1955 Buick Roadmaster home! 
Once at the plug fireman Cleg Ornsby opens the tender's water hatch door and is about to let the water flow forth from the penstock into the tender's tank. Division Superintendant Walt Wiley with walking stick, straw hat, and smoking his trademark pipe, looks on. Brakeman Fleece Conover and Walt exchange pleasantries. In a few minutes the tank will be topped off and number 75 will make its' way to the roundhouse where it will await the night crew. ..... Just another day on the railroad!
