J Thompson General Great pic and nice history lesson :) 4/29/2011 5:59:48 PM
Tom Beckett General Nice shot of a lost railroading practice. You don't see orders handed up like this anymore. Interesting history. The movie was Deep(not Deap) Throat, and played at the World Theater on 49th St in New York for many years after its 1972 release. Linda Lovelace(actual name Boreman) made claims that she was assaulted during the production of the film, to which she testified before the Feds in the 1980's. It's an adult film "classic," if that can be said of a porn film, but not without controversy. Anyway, back to the trains.... 5/9/2021 4:07:22 AM
