DRGW 315's First Steamup After Restoration

It's not even a good shot, but with failing light and too many people in front of me, I just raised the camera and fired. Here's 315 emerging from the roundhouse under her own power.

And back in the shop, fire dropped, for some additional work.

This gentleman was one of the last to fire 315 when it was in service on the Grande, and so the DRHS brought him back to shovel some of the first scoops of coal into the restored engine. (Unfortunately I lost the scrap of paper on which I scribbled his name - if anybody can fill in this detail, I'd appreciate it.)
