Eric there is a very small window that would limit your eyesight and view looking ahead. Because of that each loco was equipped with one of these to tell the engineer when to turn right or left or hit the brakes. Not all were as pretty however.

Maybe it’s a 2LT with a front camera! Oops wrong forum...

Maybe Mark can tell us what is going on in this pic, not 100% sure it is even a locomotive but it is a interesting picture...

Maybe a submarine or a tunnel boring machine?

I agree and a German one at that. U-boat????

At first I thought it might be from Eric's first Vette...
That is indeed a German Uboat submarine. And to make it even more unique it is from the Great War not WW2.

U Boat

At last weeks Loco's and Coffee one GE driver caused all some issues with a burnout that caught the eye of local authorities. These guys are worse than Mustang drivers...

Found another shot of this line, it must have been significant, and maybe still is, at one point in its life...
