Cab Ride On An SW1 Switcher, At The Jackson St. Roundhouse.

Описание: Courtesy of the Minnesota Transportation Museum, in St. Paul, Minnesota, I had a Cab Ride on an SW1 Switcher #3110. I would have done some shots around the inside of the Cab, but there were 15 other people crammed in Cab with me, so I was unable to do any inside shots. The Engineer was only supposed to allow 3 people in the Cab, but he was a nice guy. :) Here are some facts about Switcher 3110 taken from Wikipedia:
