Sometimes I find it entirely unbelievable that the world actually looked like that at one time.

Very cool photo.

Not my era or road, but very cool.

How about Hiawatha Noir....?

If you lend someone $20, and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

See those Sinclair tank cars , and the unique white dots at 45's on the dome . No reading up on them has come up with a definitive answer as to why , but I think they make the Sinclair's stand out when looking at a long string of tankcars from an angle , so I think thats why the dots are there , and only on Sinclair's .
