Monroe Doctrine!

The election in Colombia was held on Sunday and the results were known by Sunday evening. The leftists are claiming fraud. It’s all projection all the time with these guys.

I keep watching (in vain) for the Arabic version of those once-trendy “COEXIST” bumper stickers replete with the “approved” inclusive symbols. Glad I haven’t been holding my breath.

For what it’s worth…
Today my son bought tickets, just a formality as they wanted to spread out the visitors, to Steamtown to see the behemoths side by side.
Yes Two Big Boy Locomotives were in Scranton Pennsylvania, side by side. A reunion of sorts.


Here I am in front of the operating one.


This is the front view of the two.


And here, the cab of the operating one and the front of the static display.

The operating one had the fire going to keep it warm as it takes a week to cool it down and a lot of fuel to get it back up to operating temperature.

We also did a short visit to other parts of Steamtown.
( better picture there of both the Big Boys. )

Enjoy,
Gerard
