Ok, FIRST OFF, I want to say that I DID TAKE THIS PHOTO!!!

Countless peaple have accused me of "taking" the image from somewhere and claiming it! It was JUST BY COINCEDENCE that it looks so similar!

Again I took this back when I was last at Strasburg PA in the PA Railroad Museum across the street.

This photo can ilistrait who far we've come with steam techknology! The TAHOE was built by (I believe) Baldwin in 1875, the locomotive in the background I think is a PRR K4 Pacific. As we all know the PRR Pacifics were produced in the 1930's. If I'm wrong please correct me! ^^;

Anyway, in less than 100 years look how far we've advanced. As time moved on locomotives grew larger, longer, and heavier. this picture illistraits that easily!

Hope you guys like! :D

PS: !!!DO NOT FAV UNLESS YOU COMMENT!!! :D

That place is awesome! I went there back in 2000 and that place is just great. But its also how amazing quickly technology advances with time.

Quite nice if I do say so myself. Good eye in catching that, it clearly illustrates what your trying to say. I think if you tweak this picture a little in a program like "Lightroom" then it might look even better.

I mean when you think about it, at the dawn of the 19th cetury we essencialy were still in Nepoleonic techknologies. 100 years later we founded the tech for the weapons of WWI and Armoured Warships, ect...

Personaly I thing the 19th is on of, IF NOT, the most important time period in WORLD history!!!
