Funny to see this today, as just last night, we started watching a series called “Hell On Wheels,” which takes place during the building of the trans-continental railroad.
It’s a fascinating story, especially to see the terrain and countryside where the final work was done. And this was the supposedly “easy” part!
Very cool photo Tom 🙂
Thank you, Cedric. I tried to capture the “moment” that we learned about in school. The trains themselves are very photogenic, and I will show more of them in a post once we get home. 😉
