Trains on this day in the past:

[Steamtrains]

And a lot of pulled back muscles, I bet...

Actually by this time we had learned how to do things with leverage. One of the fellows that helped that day was a naysayer..kept saying we couldn't do it. Once the first rail was shifted without unbolting he kept saying he couldn't believe it..He became one of the best volunteers I had, but was always amazed at what we could do with so little.

The thing that surprised me was the little bit of rail that we had to remove. I would have bet 10 feet to begin with, it turned out to be 10 inches.

Aaahhhh...The old axiom still applies...."Give a man a lever and a place to stand on, and he can move the universe..."
