Photo of The Day

The throttle is mounted to the steering wheel on a model T, as well as the spark retarder, (won't start without retarding the spark!).  It also looks like they may have kept it road worthy.  Looks like all it would take is a wheel swap to put it back on the road.

I wonder what railroad it was operating on?

Uncle Russ, I thought you new everything there was to know about Model T's.   
The steering wheel is used when he comes to a curve, of course.

I know that, Dave. I wanted to find out whether anyone else did! -- Russ

The facade design is kind of dull, but the lettering has possibilities....

Here are early railroad photos from the civil war: http://www.csa-railroads.com/index.htm. It is an indexed site so click on Images then in his first paragraph Go here for the photographs. He stated it is all from the Library of Congress, which means perhaps you have seen one or two before, but judging from the rest of his information he must have scoured his source clean for any and all relevant photos.

Some interesting early railroad stuff there, plus fuel for thought if one is so inclined.

When I was younger and much stupider I used to smoke. I would go outside in the Winter for that puff .. but .. I doubt I was EVER this nutz. The Mare light house in France.
