When Trains Were King

Check out this New York Central stream-liner from 1936...

Even the trains were Art Deco in those days.

Looks like a giant floor vacuum.

Every now and then they bring a train out for a tour.  We used to go see them, since they passed close by.  Some were MASSIVE!

You're watching The Geek Show?  Just so Howard doesn't revisit the waste distribution system.

I love the Baby Moon hubcaps and wide whitewalls on that train.

The Southern Railway Museum in Duluth  is near TopNotch, Roger and me.  They have a lot of steam locomotives but nothing like that one.  In the fall they have train excursions from the old Brookwood Station in Atlanta, into the mountains and back.
