I grew up in Lake Zurick.  We were the high point on the EJ&E watching those big 2,000 hp Baldwins struggle coming up the grade from Barrington was always fun to watch.  They sometime had a lot of wheel slip. 

The crews took their lunch and dinner breaks because there was a good diner a block form the tracks. They left their cab doors unlocked, so one time I climbed aboard and sat in the engineers seat.  They caught me, and man were they ever up set.  They asked me repeatedly if I touched anything.  I swore that I didn't.  Then they showed me all around the cab.  Nice guys!
