It was a great laugh. I had the engineer rolling with that one. There good at catching mice, but not at avoiding trains. I had one crack a windshield when I was on a light power move. We bad ordered the unit in Madera because it was interfereing with my line of sight.

Funny you mention this, they fair to weel against windshields. We had to bad order an unit because one almost went through it when I was operating the Z-NBYWSP through Modesto. We put the unit behind it as the lead unit and add the former lead unit to the rear of the lead locomotives. I had a good laugh afterwards.
