"Coal Consumption Affecting Climate," 1912 |
| Description: |
Extra Board. Here is a newspaper clipping entitled "Coal Consumption Affecting Climate." It was published originally in the 14 August 1912 issue of "The Rodnen & Otamatea Times" out of Warkworth, North Island, New Zealand. Partial Quotes: "The furnaces of the world are now burning about 2,000,000,000 tons of coal a year.... The effect may be considerable in a few years." How about in just one century? Don't say we didn't know in time and so couldn't do anything about climate change! |

Railroad Bridge in South Viet Nam, 1970 |
| Description: |
Extra Board. Here is an original photo that I took while serving with the U.S. Army in South Viet Nam during November of 1970. Shown here is a small bridge on the single-tracked railroad line that connects Saigon with Da Nang. The bridge is located about 30 miles south of Bong Son on Highway 1, which parallels the rail line for 600 miles between Saigon (to the left) and Da Nang (to the right). Beyond the bridge are numerous rice paddies. The Sui Cai Mountains dominate the distance. |

Steam Locomotive Remnants, South Viet Nam, 1971 |
| Description: |
Extra Board. Here is an original photo that I took while serving with the U.S. Army in the Republic of South Viet Nam during February of 1971. Shown here is all that remains of a steam locomotive that was sabotaged in the war between the French and the Viet Minh (circa 1951): one section of boiler and two pairs of driving wheels! They're located about 20 miles south of Bong Son on Highway 1, which parallels the rail line for 600 miles between Saigon (to the left) and Da Nang (to the right). |
