A cool pinup I haven't yet commented on. I lie it. Also, having gotten the latest issue of Trains, with articles on electrification in the US (and its scarcity), I somehow feel...I must comment on a pic like this!

Thanks! Parts of the Pennsy were electrified as early as 1910, but the major parts of the Northeast Corridor, Washington to New York City weren't electrified till the 1930's.

Thanks Brian! I'm no hero, but I do appreciate the comment! As my son said when he was a little kid when my mom asked him if he was an artist, he said "no, I'm just a kid what likes to draw".

Great stuff Don!
And you're right: the morons in NYC ruined a good thing with the eyesore that is MSG.

Thanks Brandon! It's such a shame that they didn't give more thought to the preservation of Penn Station. New York politicians aren't as smart as they want us to believe they are. In the end, it's all about greed.
