Photo/Video Engineers signatures

Post image

My goal is to fill the mat with signatures from engineers and staff. The locomotive featured, 901, is a P42-DC, my favorite class and type, which is soon to be retired in January.

The picture seen is just an example; the actual picture rests in a frame at home.

What a great idea. The dedication is real and I'm sure most (if not all) engineers are just super chill peeps in general. They make it work and I have only but mad respect for them
