interesting video of steam locomotive being built

[Loren Perry]

A friend sent this 1928 Canadian Pacific video/film of a 4-8-4 steam locomotive being built. Thought you might like to see it.

When you say "they could do at the time" remember that they were only 15 years from splitting the atom with that technology, nary a computer in sight.

Wow! Thanks for posting the link. Gotta love Angus Shops.

Those were the days, eh?. No hard hats, no boots, no hearing protection (that looked noisy), no respirators, no visibility vests, no fall protection...

That's true !! it's like when you compare the technology of an SR71 Black Bird that was flying in 1967 with the car of the time !
