I was just looking through the "train" posts to find a McKeen (I forgot what they were called) and wow, if you ever want to remember WHY you look at this blog, but forgot, try looking through just one favorite topic for a couple minutes.

 I'm pretty sure this is a McKeen Motor Car, but the source hadn't said so, so I had to look to learn (one more time) what the name was, and since I have nothing to go on but the obvious, knew that the fastest way might be to simply look through the trains I've posted (all 500 or so) to rediscover the right name for the McKeen. Not easy to learn the name of something when you can describe it only as a 1920s train, art deco, internal engine in the back, American. 

Anyway, while looking through the train posts, I was simply amazed at the variety of trains I've posted, the stories, photos, videos, art, and history. 

If you want to rediscover what amazing visual and engineering accomplishments have been made, and photographic too, plus crazy cool bridges, engines, etc... I can sure recommend a couple minutes just browsing https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/search/label/train

Just keep in mind, the story of the girl in the blue dress who died on Christmas Eve is a real tear jerker. Avoid that unless you have kleenex handy, or need to prep to act out a scene where you must cry a lot on stage or while making a movie. That's one of the pitfalls of posting so much, I've forgotten most all of it, and some posts are just ready to stab you in the heart. Hell, her story should be a "Lifetime Channel Hallmark movie" 

Anyway, back to this image, I just came across it on a facebook page of Mark On Railroad History https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61560323341975
