Meeting of the transcontinental railroad. I had a grade school teacher who spent a lot of time talking about this moment and the impact of a railway across the country had on the growth of our nation

Cool shot and I can look at that photo for a long time.  Interesting to see one engine has a narrow smoke stack and the other is super wide.  Anyone know which side is East and which side is West?

Was honored to peripherally know Gen. Yeager. DGAF about negative rumors. He was a genial and generous man in almost every experience with him.
Almost.

Definitely old school. I always appreciated that.

I drove I-90 west from Spokane to Seattle June 1980 on my way across country from FL.  Got pulled over by a WA state trooper and I asked him what the huge cylinder on the front of his car was for - Huge Air Cleaner.  Explained all the dust I saw on the sides of the road.

A year later, my roommate and I and one other person climbed MSH.  We had a pretty cool pic of the three of us on top, with the dome way behind and below us.  We called it "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly".  Won Best Pic for the 1981-1982 Boealps (Boeing Employees Alpine Society) picture contest even though it was illegal to climb the mountain back then.

"The Troubles" in temporary occupied Ireland aka Northern Ireland. Freedom fighter/terrorist/Republican/guerilla/IRA fighting the Brits. If you are unaware, the Irish and Brits have fought off and on for 800+ years. It is doubtful he harmed them even if they were Protestants.

U2's Sunday Bloody Sunday came from this event during the Troubles:

In Londonderry, Northern Ireland, 13 unarmed civil rights demonstrators are shot dead by British Army paratroopers in an event that becomes known as “Bloody Sunday.” The protesters, all Northern Catholics, were marching in protest of the British policy of internment of suspected Irish nationalists.
