Foxaroo responding to the ping! Can't view on the iPhone. Will eagerly be wanting to see this when I get home!

Hi Old Wolf!

When I got home I went straight to LJ but said "Bummer!" The pic wasn't visible on Tali either, and not even a target space for me to click on and find the link. Good that you put Shorpy.com in the description. I found the pic on page 4.

Very interesting. We forget how well off we are with modern infrastructure. Although 1942 seems a bit late to be doing wheel maintenance without a crane.

It took me a while to find, but, well... not because it was *difficult* to locate but because there were many interesting pictures along the way. I loved this one:

Thanks Old Wolf! ;)
