Hot air would've been piped away from the steam boilers on site. The black circular thing you see would've diffused the heat to disperse it evenly in the room.

Disturbing. Your imagination could run wild and you may possibly be right.

I wonder this is was the business class car. One person in a very wide looking seat.

I've been away. Glad to back.
You could imagine how ornate and comfy these must have been when they were new. Much nicer than anything we have today.

Thanks all!

Happy birthday Mr. Motts! May there be much happiness and photography in the coming year.

Jude mentioned it was a special day on the forum.
Happy Birthday Tom.

Yes, a wood chipper and a chain saw!

A wallpaper of this would be cool....

wallpaper material.

my guess is rail yards are (even today) dirty, greasy, dusty, oily places. Living in a major metropolitan area, my car windows develop a film of an oily like substance that just gets pushed around with most cleaners after just a week or two. Given a few decades, and considering the location of these, not surprised the windows are no longer clear.

how difficult would it be to retro fit a DC based train car to AC? Just curious.

This reminds me, short story long, was taking a tour of a castle somewhere in Germany off the Rhine river. The tour guide noticed one of the other tour guides walking this larger lady past our group, and obviously tried to stifle a laughing fit. After the pair had gone out of sight / earshot our guide told us that the lady must have been too fat to fit up the staircase that the tour was taking, and had to be walked separately up another staircase to rejoin the group. Memories eh?

Thanks steel worker!

I'd need a wood chipper here!
