Remarks: I wandered into the Lehigh Valley engine terminal at Oak Island and managed to snap off a few shots before I was chased off due to the heightened security concerns coinciding with the start of the Korean conflict. Ansco color/color corrected

I find your comments on the Korean conflict very interesting, I had no idea that the country was that worried during that time frame. Great shot, I hope you have more to share.

Most of the time back then you could have your run of the place. Sometimes a friendly hostler would spot an engine if you asked...so, it was kindof unusual in that day to be run off the property. Funny what you remember all these years later.

John, great shot. Looking at the windshield and dirt pattern, you wonder what it went through. Your comments and response are very interesting also. Thanks.
