Today being December 7th, I was surprised there was not a post or mention about what happened 71 years ago today.
To keep this a train related post, attached is a photo of a Vulcan steam locomotive built in 1913 for the US Naval Shipyard, Pearl Harbor, Territory of Hawaii.
And on a current note, I spoke today with an RMT customer whose late father was at Pearl Harbor in December of 1941. Stationed on the USS Portland. a heavy cruiser, his dad's ship sailed from Pearl Harbor on December 5th enroute to Midway. By not being in Hawaii, 2 days later, is perhaps the reason his dad survived the war and in turn he, as his son, talked to me today.
Thanks to all our veterans.
