Steve and list;

Nice catch! I'm surprised no one has yet commented on the interesting
"grillwork" on the nose of this loco - the sheet metal has been cut away and
stamped steel screening has been put in its place. Looks like they felt the
need for a little ventilation! Or was it a result of the repowering? Hmmm...
