When late 1920s Tech Meets... Slightly Bigger/Louder 1920s Tech!

🚗We had a fantastic visit today from a local Ford Model A club! It turns out our steam and diesel engines have a lot in common with these vintage beauties. Both love a good crank start, both turn heads, and both have a complete lack of Bluetooth.

We had a blast comparing our antique rail equipment with their classic rides.

Hey folks! Now that’s some power. Eight units. Likely not all operational, but still, we don’t see that often.
