Are you telling us you're a closeted acountant?

Are you telling us you're a closeted acountant?

How would I be doing that?

 

[Harke the Boeotarch]

How would I be doing that?

By showing us a picture you just took with your phone.

 

[belamyi]

^ Well, I took it several hours before.

But, again, what has that go to do with accountancy and whatever all that?

A bit dissappointing: not that many shots, and there is not even blood.

I wonder if the tension from the wires (cables) did just enough to slow the locomotive, to keep it from plunging over the wall? Scraping its undercarriage against the wall surely helped, too.

^Considering the tremendous weight of a locomotive, it was surely going very slowly by the time it got to the wall and the cables; otherwise, it would have plowed right through them and kept on going. And we have no idea from the picture how many train cars were attached behind the locomotive. Notice the cars. This must have happened in the 1920s or 1930s. And you can make out the "Fe" on the side of the locomotive, identifying it as being owned by the Santa Fe line in the United States. A couple of engineering notes: This is a diesel locomotive, which was starting to replace the older steam locomotives. And I'm not sure when the telephone cables started replacing all the individual overhead wires you see in old photographs.

This image evokes the stories of the tunnel that people who have NDEs say we go through when we die. Hmm, I'm not sure I want to end up in a dark, dusty vacuum cleaner canister.

Diesel locomotives have most of the weight in the back too.

Notice the rest of the picture: men's fashion, quality of the picture, damn, look at the loco itself, and the car behind the older one to the bottom right: it's like dating a 2021 pic as 1985 only because you see a Cressida lost in some corner of the image.
