Remarks & Notes

It is a foggy Christmas Eve in 1979 as the southbound extra makes its way up Paris Hill. Prior to this, the crew had to get down off the engine and manually sand the rails to make the climb. John Swald and Charlie Horner are standing on the engine, while Ray Kaminski looks back from the engineers seat.
