EBT #16 [2000oct8,161]
600x414 (50k) -
1200x827 (179k)
This year the EBT pulled non-operating #16 from the roundhouse, the first
time in nearly
a decade. Not only did they put it on display, but they went to the
trouble of reattaching the fiddly bits, rehabilitating the headlight and
providing power for it, and retrofitting a compressed air system to power
the whistle for the annual salute.

in the center of the tire is a result of wear against the rail.
