I like the guy poking his head out of the engineer's window above the white flag (I saw a lot of MEC F unit photos at rrpicturesarchive.net and almost all showed these units flying white flags on freights B-12 and RY-2) Also never realized MEC F units had tiger stripes painted on their pilots. Excellent!
