Anyone Else Fascinated By Old Locomotives?

The date is July 7, 1915 and a small crowd of workers and on-lookers has gathered around Southern Pacific #2622 in the yards at Ashland, Oregon. They are inspecting the damage to #2622 following a collision she has clearly experienced.

There is plenty of activity in the background near the Ashland Depot as other trains are ready to depart. On the right we see the back of the brick Ashland roundhouse and then the huge oil tank that was needed to keep all these oil-burning steam locomotives fueled.
