Remarks & Notes 
Relics of a Golden Age. A pair of classic automobiles pause for the passage of a Norfolk & Western mixed train, headed up by a streamlined, J-Class Locomotive that is a classic in its own right. There was a time when form meant every bit as much as function, and US Industries competed fiercely to capture the eyes and the imagination of the consuming public. Sadly, that time faded to black about 50 years ago. I wonder how many of today's automobiles, or railway locomotives will be held in the same level of esteem as the machines seen here, 50 years from now?
