“She sits alone, remembering how it was to dance, how evening hours flew…before the crippling infection that came from a tiny, neglected cut.”Well, that escalated quickly.

“He has almost no sense of time, and therefore a schedule is a thing that never could exist for him. He has frequently been two hours late for an appointment with his editor, and it is doubtful if he has ever been on time. The dimensions of everything, physical and abstract, are too small for him.” —Maxwell Perkins on Thomas Wolfe, from “Answers to A Query.”

DIESELPUNK-Streamline Steam
Australia produced one of the classiest streamliners in their S class locos.
Quote:-“In November 1937, iconic Victorian Railways Commissioner Harold Clapp, introduced one of Australia’s best loved trains, the Spirit of Progress, which operated from Spencer Street to Albury. At Albury, passengers indulged in the infamous change of gauge to NSW trains that took them to or from Sydney. VR’s four crack 4-6-2 ‘S’ class steam locomotives were given a special, easily recognised and prestigious, streamlined body and the locos were painted in a new blue and gold colour scheme, as were the new, all-steel cars that were also an integral part of the Spirit of Progress.”
