George, What a great photo documentary. Good use of people, cars, and soda cups for a sense of scale. That really is one BIG locomotive. The technology of yester-year is contrasted against modern vehicles and utility lines in a way that boggles my mind, as does the men in front who did the steering. Image 32 reminds me of a toy train loaded on a child's red wagon w/ toy figurines looking on. How many hours did this move take?
