Where Politicians And Actors Have Been
Title:  Where Politicians And Actors Have Been
Description:  When the Freedom Train arrived at Minnehaha Park in Minneapolis in 1975, Hubert H. Humphrey and his grandson rode in the cab. In 1986, moviegoers saw Burt Lancaster get the drop on Doyle McCormack while Kirk Douglas looked on from track level and later saw Dana Carvey climb that ladder into her cab in the movie "Tough Guys." I too climbed that ladder for a brief look into the cab. Standing where good ol' Burt once stood. They don't make actors or train engines like they used to ...

Instead Of A Chorus Line, A Photo Line
Title:  Instead Of A Chorus Line, A Photo Line
Description:  Yah-tah-tah, yah-tah-tah. Puttin' on the train crazy Ritz. As usual, fans and daisy pickers alike flock to see the sight. One deplorable scene happened a few minutes before I took this shot: One of the photographers in the line to the right of the photo kept shooing away via whistles and shouts people trying to get closer photos of the engine from the side. Rude. Some foamers are going to ruin it for everybody one day. Play nice, boys and girls. We all want to see the train. Let's show some common courtesey.
