One of the engineering marvels of the world, in the same ranking with the Eiffel Tower. This is the little train that could; in 1955, the then president of the railroad, Frank Brown, and his think tank, developed the concept of "unitized freight" known today as the shipping container. So look at powerpointpete's video one more time and realize you're looking at the thing that changed the course of history of the entire earth. Back from bankruptcy in WW2 to ship uranium for the atomic bomb.
