Look at the poor horse. Ribs are showin' and hip bones stickin' out in the withers. It's a shame how some treat animals. (I'm thinkin Amish here, but not in this picture).

Probably couldn't run this train today because of safety regulations.

Rufus,
will/can you give the info on the photo so we can read it?

By golly I think you have got it, or very close.
Looks like a lot of ladies on that train. Tourists?
No way to really know.

Something you don't see anymore (except at Halloween in the sub-divisions). When I was a boy there was a small farm down the road where they still hand cut the corn and stacked it in shocks.



Some back-breaking work there...thank God for the combine.

Amish up at my end of Path Valley still do this some.....

Re the mine train: do any of the experts here understand the motor? It isn't electric. What is the equipment at the front? Gasoline engine? Compressed air tanks?

Diesel or gas engine probably with a chain drive through some sort of transmission, but just a supposition....
