    From the March, 1952 Frisco "All Aboard".

    FYI. This was a sad moment for many, so I won't say "enjoy".

    Notice how the last run of a steam engine is almost always a fairly commonplace model, e.g., a Mikado or a consolidation, and not some "racehorse" that was once the pride of the fleet. This is because steam tended to be bumped off the main lines first and the backwaters of the system last.
