As we gaze upon the two men standing on the footplate of the locomotive, we can almost feel the rumble of the tracks beneath them and hear the whistle blowing through the night air. The operational intricacies of their roles are evident in their focused expressions, showcasing their dedication to safely navigating through the darkness.
