This is a really neat old photo.

Any serious student of American railroading in the 20th Century would have to applaud this image for its pure history alone. Barriger was indeed the father of the "super" railroad. I think he would appreciate the way the industry has adapted to 21st Century transportation realities in this country. That said, I doubt very many of the younger railroad enthusiasts in this country would know who Barriger was, let alone his major role in defining how railroading is today.
