Group - This is a little "test" to see how many old timers from Lines West will remember what the hostler is doing a top the tender in this undated image of oil-burning CB&Q Class S-4-A 4003 being serviced at Lincoln, NE. I'm both inserting and attaching this interesting image:

 

 

What the hostler is doing was once so common place on Lines West oil-burning locomotives that it was seldom if ever photographed. In fact, this is the first image I've ever seen that shows such a service function. The image was taken well prior to November 1960 when 4003 was sold for scrap. Best Regards - Louis
