It was traveling on the S&C {B&O at the time}, in Pennsylvania from Johnstown to Rockwood and we were let out of school to walk about a qtr. mi. to see it....Don't know how school officials knew it was coming. That line was an all coal hauler at the time so this train was REALLY special for {anyone}, to see....Something new right after "the war"....It was exciting...Must have been as I still remember it vividly.

They rented a bunch of wagons from a prop co. and had these horse drawn wagons (minus the horses) loaded onto 85' pig flats. It was doubly noteworthy for me because the picture of it I took was the only pic I ever managed to get published by Trains Magazine.

What a way to ruin a musical. Great movie though, if you can get by the singing. If women don't find you handsome, they should at least find you handy ....

Also the local crane co. (Manitowoc) ships giant cranes by rail sometimes with the cab on one flatcar and the pieces of the lattice boom on other flatcars.
