March 1943. "Waynoka, Oklahoma. Oil and water derricks near the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad roundhouse." Photo by Jack Delano, Office of War Information. View full size.
Between each pair if tracks are two inverted "L" shaped hydrants. The one on the left is for water, the one on the right for a very tarlike fuel oil which Southern Pacific used.
The railroad images are my favorites. The moving parts, the steam, and everything about them is fascinating.
I love the tools on the board in front of the closest engine.
