  1. 16:Band of Apache Indian prisoners at rest stop beside Southern Pacific Railway, near Nueces River, Tex., September 10, 1886. Among those on their way to exile in Florida are Natchez (center front) and, to the right, Geronimo and his son in matching shirts.

    Interesting and typical of US goobermint. 1830 trail of tears made them go west. 1886 shipped some different ones back.

  2. I rode the Shasta Daylight from Klamath Falls to Sacramento around 1960. It was diesel powered by then. Outside the Sacramento station they had one these engines on static display, most likely #4924 in the opening photo, not #4274 in the video–
