She's looking a lot better than the last time I saw her!I can't say I'm inspired by the wartime black, but I get the impression they're likely to repaint her soon.

Looks like the people in the video aren't ON the tracks, just on railroad property. When 611 came around, the rule of thumb was "Stay off the ballast and you'll be fine." Though, we didn't have 125mph+ trains coming by on adjacent tracks.
