I believe the butter is going on some ones order at Red Lobster.
I use a lot of butter on my waffles or pancakes but just 1 of those blobs of butter would last me a life time. But I could have used it to grease the train rails where I used to live to stop the dang trains

I debated if this went in "Vintage Work Crew Photos" but those guys had to work hard for their money!

They've caught drug smugglers trying this here on the SW border. Kinda hard to fool any trackers since bipeds can't really recreate a quadruped's walking gait.
At least this one is somewhat about woodworking and creating your own tools!

If that was such a FULL load of lumber on that single axle truck, it would certainly be sagging, and the tires squished unless they were solids.Quote:

Usually you want more weight on drivers to increase traction (air foils on racing cars improved tractive performance when they were introduced).
Amtrak's Beech Grove Shops. Circa 1910.

Looks like an old real woody to me!
Amtrak? 1910 seems a bit early.
Lounge against the machine...
Looks like a refurbishing shop, since the numbers on the various units are so widely spread out. I can only make out 96 and 319. Even though they appear very similar, there are noticeable design differences in each unit. Specifically the headlights, and the braces running from the main body down to the "bumper".
Wikipedia has some info...
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beech_Grove_Shops
I'm sure there was no assembly line for locomotives. Each one is unique in some way...
So Amtrak owns the facility now but when the picture was taken it was owned by Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis Railway!
Thanks for the Wiki link, it is so interesting.
My home town had a Boston and Maine roundhouse facility which I was always fascinated with, of course it was no longer functioning as a railroad facility,
but the turntable was still there.
yes sir, no Amtrak until 1971

I had to go get my reading glasses, to make sure that guy in the Top Hat was not Abraham Lincoln.
That big ole machinery always impresses me.

I wonder how many of those ladies got their apron caught in the gears...
"I wonder how many of those ladies got their apron caught in the gears... "
I agree, though I would add that ladies are not usually as unaware as their male counterparts.
that's probably 'cause men are thinking about "other things"
Probably not as many as you might think,Quote:

Lady 3rd from the front, back to the camera, also seems to have similar sort of "watchamacallit" near her face.
2nd lady facing camera certainly is not concerned with the drive belts probable a foot or so away. I imagine the noise in the shop probable would violate OSHA standards.

Circa 1930, I wonder if they were testing prototype Buegler pinstripe tools; introduced 1934, pat'd 1935.
Did somebody say "patent"?Quote:

I see they were wearing shorter dresses than usual, maybe for safety reasons, but why the 2-3" heels,they had to sore feet after work!
I was taken by the clean, bright work space.
Also the five women on the near side of the line appear to be working, the 4 on the other side, looking through the windows, appear to be watching the camera.

The smell...
I could smell it the minute I opened it!
The smell was my first thought also.
Evy'buddies joking about the smell. When I saw and clicked the pic my reaction was similar, thinking "good thing THAT didn't get recorded!"
And what ever reason, I forget to investigate patents. I'm vaguely familiar with striping tools. Compared with 'artistic' stripers with fine brushes, mechanical stripers are miniature paint rollers. Ideal for a long parallel line. Wheels can be interchanged for width and combinations of width.
But either way, it's all in the little finger!
