I remember seeing some that looked like that around. You got to remember when I was borned, the California gold rush was only 90 years old.

Heck, I remember seeing Model-A and model-T fords running around and they wasn't classified as antiques either. Just the families everyday car.

The railroads still used steam engines and the trains had a caboose on them. They had switched over to burning diesel or bunker fuel in them though. I lived where the trains would stop and take on water and loved to hear the engines snap and crack as they were cooling down. They would always spin the main drivers which caused my dad to curse as it would burn dimples in the rails.
