GORDON LOST SO MUCH SO QUICKLY DURING THE 60S PLEASE I JUST WANT HIM TO BE HAPPY - Tumblr Posts

In the photograph were four engines, with four familiar faces. They all looked remarkably similar, and each had a brand new, shining brass nameplate affixed to their smokebox.

One of the engines was none other than Gordon himself, grinning broadly with a smile so rare that it likely had never graced his face with its presence since the day the photo was taken.

A faded promise could still be made out, written on the bottom corner of the photograph, along with the names of those who had intended to keep it some day, long ago.

"We'll see you again soon!"
