Engineer John Henry Benson oils the running gear on his Pacific locomotive. The white mustached aristocratic appearing old gentleman started on the Northern Pacific Railway in the 1870s and retired in the 1920s after a half century of service.
One of my favorite photographs.
That photo shows clearly the size of one of the bigger steam locomotives when compared with a man standing next to it.
