Wow.-engines that replaced steam and the small customer wayfreight. All gone now. Thanks for the "wayback" scene.

I second Brother DeFillippo's motion...a classic scene, timeless in the simplicity of an earlier time. Twenty years after the end of steam, these stalwarts continued to burble along.

Imagine....a clean-fired RS-2!
