Yeah, Brian, I should have noted too that none of the units were running, let alone moving. I would definitely not want to get anyone in trouble on account of a friendly gesture on their part, nor would I climb uninvited on any piece of railroad equipment. Charlie, at the time, was a working railroader, and Ed and I are both also extremely conscious of rail safety - he's the son of an engineer and I worked around steel plant railroads for almost forty years, so we're certainly not ga-ga eyed railfans and definitely appreciated the employee's kindness. I know for sure that it placed CSX in a favourable light in my mind.
