Pulled off the main road to fix a flat...the old skipper did the repair and is just taking off his coveralls. The other guy didn't want to get his white shirt dirty.

Oh that?...It's just an old high pressure gas main they forgot to bury. I understand its still in use. Been there for 10 years , keeps people from diving through here.

Man near wheel "Well we made it"
Man at front "We sure did and here comes the boss. Remember, the story is we never had any rail cars attached, so how could we have lost them?"

Very similar engine as in picture number 1831 now numbered 130, however you can see they have more wood and a few straggler "add-ons" who were doing "you know what" plus a guy to lube the works..

By the end of WW2 there were approximately 165,000 women working for the railroads.
