Steam & Excursion > Pretty Girls & Trains - Some Things Never Change!Date: 01/15/14 04:45 Pretty Girls & Trains - Some Things Never Change! Author: LoggerHogger A recent post reminded me of this classic publicity photo using Virginia & Truckee #22 and a moder "Streamliner" diesel with 2 pretty girls of each era to show how much things have changed but also how much they have stayed the same.
Perhaps one of our readers can tell us what the event was they are celebrating. Martin Edited 3 time(s). Last edit at 01/15/14 05:38 by LoggerHogger.  Date: 01/15/14 05:11 Re: Pretty Girls & Trains - Somethings Never Change! Author: Off-pending I believe someone needs to give that girl a rod.

Author: dcfbalcoS1 No OSHA safety cables anywhere nor safety harnesses, probably no roughcoat on their shoe soles either and they aren't wearing hardhats or reflective tape on their clothing. This could be worse than the Hindenburg crash !!!

Jack When the photo was taken back then, I bet nobody even noticed!! Craig http://mcmrailvideos.com/ Date: 01/15/14 09:31 Re: Pretty Girls & Trains - Somethings Never Change! Author: CPengineer Was this a publicity shot for the movie Union Pacific?
