I can say this. I am a neat freak so I clean up when I get on the engine. Also, it's one of the rules so it should always be kept clean. I think that a lot of the employees are taking notice. It's a hot topic with us working on the Pocahontas Division. It seems we always get the newest power due to working in the coalfields. Just the other day the N&W, Nickel Plate Road, and the original Norfolk Southern heritage motors were all in Portsmouth, OH. at the same time. Imagine getting those side by side! Would have made for a great pic! But I for one am excited about this. A buddy and I have a little contest going on who sees the most first. I took a self pic with my iphone of my face beside the Central of Georgia logo. I put it on his facebook and the comment was "Don't be a hater". I was the first out of the two of us to have a heritage locomotive.
I should be getting called anytime to take that same train back to Williamson, WV. The CofG unit will be on the head end so I would guess there will be some railbuffs out there between Kenova and Williamson today. And yes, I grew up by the C&O as a kid and wanted to be an engineer all my life. God has blessed me with a lifelong dream coming true. I might have rambled on a little but I hope I answered your question.
