US Army #1856 rolls past with *NW-2 #1423 and several passenger cars in tow.

The Magnetic Flagman Wig Wag gets to work protecting the crossing.
Single chime horn on the FM, also a touch smoky on throttle-up
Neat to hear the 6 cylinder (Technically 6, but there are two cranks, for a total of 12 pistons) OP Prime Mover running.

I wish...back when I was a kid, 1850 powered the excursions, bu then they got the SW8's and 1850 was relegated to "Stored serviceable". They keep talking about bringing her back into the fold, but the SW8's are a lot easier on the No. 2 and the can't justify a fourth operable locomotive (one SW8 on excursions, one in the yard on standby/ under maintenance, and a little 25-ton Whitcomb to switch the yard).
Yah, FairbanksMorse (Beloit Industries) seems to have collected a lot of this old tech from either predecessors or licensing.
As a child I lived in Beloit, WI and the local mall was right next to FM's plant. During the night you could see arc welding lighting up the plant's dirty windows.
