I love some of the old factory shots

An interesting view of the end of the Dodge Brothers dual assembly lines for their four-cylinder cars. The Dodge Brothers first were manufacturers of chassis, engines and components for automakers in Detroit including their biggest customer, Henry Ford. The Dodges manufactured many of the early Model T Ford components for Ford. In 1914, Horace Dodge created a very up to date four, that became a quite popular lower priced car all the way through to 1927 When Dodge came out with their first six.

We are not sure of the date of this press photo but judging by the white or gray tires we would assume this was taken in the teens

Vintage movie still with interesting background story: Marilyn Monroe and Clark Gable, pictured in the classic movie "The Misfits". It was the superstar's only time acting together, and also both their final films, with Gable dying of a heart attack (likely because he insisted on doing his own stunt work during production of the movie) less than a week after filming was finished, and Monroe passing away several months following. (This is a truly great movie, btw.)

A group of trailers are being lined up and loaded aboard freight cars of the Pennsylvania Railroad, for movement out of the New York yards on the maiden “TrucTrain” run. Two fast trains of specially-designed 75-foot flatcars, carrying about 100 loaded trailers each, left New York and Chicago simultaneously, each headed for the other city over the 903 miles of rails.

The piggyback freight service, the first of the long-haul movements of this type, was set up to assure truck line customers of early second-morning deliveries in New York and Chicago. The Old Motor press photo is dated March 3, 1955.

The photo of the Trucktrain makes me reflect on the incredibly rapid development, evolution and growth of the transportation infrastructure in our country during the first half of the 20th century. From rail lines and dirt paths to integrated, sophisticated blendings of rail with high-speed/high-capacity truck transport in just a few short years is really remarkable.
