Nostalgia & History > Fill ‘er up!Date: 08/01/20 09:49 Fill ‘er up! Author: Streamliner Just happened upon this photo while looking at a non-train related site. Thought some here might like to see it.

This would have been during World War II with the headlight shield. Interesting that they are fueling right from a tank car, makes sense since this was so early in the diesel era that they had not built a fueling facility yet.
