Nice shot. Interesting story about the driver & brakeman, maybe the boss lent the the "company car" to go and get some lunch :-).it
Was toolin' along in my Rocket 88, when I saw, stopped on the tracks,
Engine 4712. The engineer and the brakeman just stopped the train, shut
Itdown, jumped off, and hit a local diner for a cuppa Joe and a sandwich.
sure was strange to see that big engine sittin' there, with no one in the driver's seat <LOL>

I can understand why mankind hasn't given up war. During a war you get to drive tanks through the sides of buildings and shoot foreigners - two things that are usually frowned on during peacetime.
