NOW LOOK AT THE FINE MESS YOU’VE MADE!

Posted on July 16, 2012 by THE OLD MACHINIST

THE TITLE OF THIS POST MAY LEAD YOU TO THE CONCLUSION THE OLD MACHINIST DOES NOT FEEL A WRECKED TRAIN IS A SERIOUS THING. BUT, ALAS, HE HAS HUNG OUT WITH MANY TRAINMEN OVER THESE PAST FIFTY YEARS AND HAS BEEN SHOWN THE SERIOUS SIDE OF RAILROADING AS WELL AS THE HUMOROUS SIDE. SO, WE HAVE A HUMOROUS TITLE FOR A SERIOUS SUBJECT. NOW, TO PUT YOU INTO THE CORRECT FRAME OF MIND BEFORE YOU VIEW THESE PHOTOGRAPHS, TRY TO IMAGINE YOU ARE ONE OF THE TRAINMEN RIDING THE TRAIN. SCARY IS IT NOT?

About THE OLD MACHINIST

I am 87 years old and married for 65 years. My wife passed away in 2016. I am a retired engineer and spent 35 years developing INS gyroscopes. I was a High School mentor in physics, a mountaineer, a model builder, a machinist and I have a degree in Physics. My interests include railroad history and photography, science history, cosmology, interesting people, and old engineering drawings. I place a high value on my friendships. I enjoyed my life and I am trying to look forward with a sense of anticipation and curiosity.
