Yes, Phil.??

In an old Trains magazine, there is a Herb Sullivan photo of a cab forward on an eastbound freight taken by Herb about where I was standing for that shot of the Zephyr.??

The photo shows a compound MC engine, so it dates to the 1910s or 1920s.??

I think the issue is from the late 60s, one of the All Steam issues with an article about cab forwards
