        THREE locomotives are that close together? Look at the 3rd pic. I'm tempted to call bullshit to some part of that. Maybe 3 drive whls per track on one loco?

        Personally I wonder how as a traindriver you could 'miss' the little fact the other 2 locomotives are still humming and grunting away joyfully when you just stopped the train and stepped out of your locomotive. Either the guy(s) were all deaf or drunk, or some kind of short happened later on which made the other 2 locos want to drive off.
