Re: Speaking of working on the railroad . . .

Great shots -- and they look like real 1930's pics .... I like how the headlight is not lit during the day. Some of us can remember when the crew would get in trouble for wasting steam and shortening the life of headlight bulbs for not turning them off in daylight hours.

Most attempts at getting a "period" shot nowdays are ruined by a brilliant headlight and a bright sun shining.
