I lament the fact that I didn't get to China in time to see the last of steam... or Cuba for that matter. But I have been fortunate to have ridden cabooses, visited active towers complete with armstrong levers, watch telegraph being used, etc. A recent article in Trains about Iowa Traction got me thinking: what other anachronic industry operations/equipment are still out there, soon to be pushed aside by time and economic realities?
