If you're one of the Covidiots who believe that COVID-19 is "just the flu",
that the 2020 election was stolen, or
especially if you supported the 1/6/21 insurrection,
leave now.

Not shown: One of those steam traction engines broken down by the side of the road.
ReplyDeleteYou can see one of them at Furnace Creek Ranch in Death Valley National Park. It was dragged there after it broke down hauling a load of gold ore from the Keene Wonder Mine to the nearest railhead in Rhyolite. Later shipments were done with mule wagons instead. It had earlier been abandoned by the American Borax Company along with its three peers because they kept breaking down so often that "Borax" Smith decided to build his own railroad, the Tonopah and Tidewater, to serve his mining interests in the area. The T&T never reached Tonopah nor the tidewater, though when it took over the Bullfrog and Goldfield it did make it to Goldfield and a connecting line to Tonopah, the Tonopah & Goldfield. Anywho, the deal is that those steam traction engines were *very* unreliable, to the point where they spent more time broken than running. Apparently operating on rough roads was harder on the engine than (relatively) smooth rails, go figure....
