Nice! Forney's is definitely up there in the pantheon. BITD locomotive engineers were basically the airline pilots of their day. Very highly respected.

Not "peeps". I do not wish to be associated with those ungodly marshmallow abominations.

There's some unfortunate history. Kind of surprised the guy brought it up, considering. Thread

To be fair, airline pilots today are not respected like they were during my Great Uncle's time - he flew for Pan Am from 1941-1978.

Sure digital tech is a tool, but for whom? You think you are holding a phone and a handy device for information, those who put it in your hand use it to keep track of everything you do and to control the answers to whatever information you seek. Aside from useless specifics, there is not much difference between humans, they are all the same, just like all ants are the same. If you do not know anything about everyone else, then you are just saying you know nothing about yourself, but that again is normal for most of you and your pals.

In the early 1920s a fire devastated the works. The business moved to Eddystone, PA, along the shores of the Delaware River, giving it access to international marine traffic.

I live within walking distance of the original Baldwin Locomotive Works. At its height, it occupied 32 acres just east of this house.
