Two cool! 4 mini drivers and a high speed train.

We have nothing like either one.

I was astonished at how many men they had working on that railroad. Three brakemen on the string of self-unloading hopper cars?

Reminds me of a picture of two Chinese men sitting to cut a railroad track with a hacksaw. They brought a pot of tea and packed a lunch. I expect they were going to be there all day.
