Is it my imagination, or does M&E move the locomotives around pretty much every day? Nose to nose, then tail to tail, then on different tracks, etc

Don't know anything about Mr Black, but R.W. McEwan was one of the owners of the railroad in the 1950s and 1960s. RS-1 #15 was named for him.

The cab was sold and is supposedly used as a hot dog stand now. The Central New England Railroad bought it from the Valley as a parts unit.Thanks for the info!
