Nice to see the ol' gal running. Only time I saw it move was in '99 at Ringoes when they moved it down the line to coal #60 on the ramp.

I see the MU receptacle on the non-motor end and if IIRC, the BR&W tried to run the 4666 with a an old CNJ cab car. I don't remember if they had any success with that experiment since I always saw the 4666 running by itself.
