Western Railroad Discussion > a clash of technologiesDate: 11/19/19 17:28 a clash of technologies Author: santafe199 As I sifted through today’s crop of digital images of the 4014 I was struck by the contrast, yes the total clash of technology in back-to-back images I shot at Tyler St today in Topeka. Brought to attention through the presence of one of the most elegant antiques I’ve ever seen…
1. UP’s vintage star of the show 4014 struts gracefully past 2 admirers recording the scene with the most modern of technology: cell phone cameras. 2. UP’s vintage star of the show 4014 looks right at a pair of modern-day diesel electric locomotives, equipped with the latest modern computerized accouterments. (2 photos taken in Topeka, KS on November 19, 2019) Thanks for looking back & forth! Lance Garrels santafe199 Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 11/19/19 17:29 by santafe199.
