Frisco #1630
Title:  Frisco #1630
Description:  The sight of smoke was enough to attract a large crowd to the steam servicing facility even before it had a full head of steam. I suppose this makes #1630 a celebrity as there are more cameras clicking here than on any red carpet. In the below scene 1630 backs out to the mainline and the crowd snaps pictures before running to catch it again at the depot.
