Remarks & Notes 
It's almost 48 years ago, the 45s were pure, loud gas hogs, glorious brutes. The ramshackle tower still stood, cabooses were required and the Kaiser ore train traversed the arid countryside with power on the point, power in the middle and power on the rear, all manned, and all wide open as they make the last effort to reach the yard.
