Interesting set this week. That evening shot of the Rocky Mountain Express is nice, and if one takes out the background skyscrapers and the autos, it would be hard to date the streetcar photo.
I agree, the St. Charles streetcar is an ageless beauty. Photo credit belongs to Scott A. Hartley, Trains Newswire.
I like seeing the smaller black tank cars. They remind me of the old riveted single domes from too long ago.
Yeah, and to think there was a time when they transported crude oil and refined petroleum products all over the country in these things. At one time it was deemed much safer than by ship due to the pesky U-Boats patrolling from Galveston and New Orleans all the way around Florida and up to New York.
