An almost pastiche of railroad "stuff" and ah, the mid-century architecture of the tower at the beginning. Doug
I was talking to one of my brothers last week and he joked "I never thought of us as "mid-century, but we somehow are".
Not only that - when 'turn of the century' is heard, our minds ratchet to the change from 1800's to 1900's; not 1900's to 2000's
My wife chuckles when I explain I was born in the first half of the Last Century ....... The earliest memory of my lifetime (maybe age 5), is looking into the firebox of one of the two "Mississippian" steamers at Amory, Miss. My dad was a surveyor for the Frisco and we lived in a tiny trailer my dad could tow with his 51 Merc. We have family pictures of that locomotive - and it still operates out of Red Deer, Alberta. Hard for me to consider any other "Fallen Flag" than the Frisco. One of my grandsons lives at Drumright, OK and when we went there for a visit, I couldn't resist running down the location of this numero uno 4500 resting in Tulsa.
