Laura next to some of the drive wheels on the Southern Pacific's articulated locomotive No. 4294.
Couldn't bring myself to take an overall shot of the thing b/c it is, hands-down, the ugliest
locomotive I've ever seen. With nothing graceful or ornamental about it, it's a business-only
machine capable of towing an 18 million pound payload up steep grades with tight turns. . . .

A giant.

I know Laura isn't the biggest person, but that locomotive makes her look miniature.

Lovely picture of Laura with that giant machine behind her..

That's a massive steam train, or else you've shrunk Laura!

Reall shows the massive size of those beasts.

Hiya Laura! Allasame, I'd have liked seeing the entire loco. Those artics were something.

Laura looks so tiny by comparison!
