Insignificant
Forty-three years ago today, man first set foot on our moon. That same day, found me wandering around Denver with longtime railfan friend E. Deane Motis. We stopped by Burnham Shops to see what was going on and found EMD 4351 inside. I've long had a liking for EMD's big 20-cylinder beasts, and this one is my favorite. It would later be sold to my favorite Illinois Central as their lone SD45, 7000, which I only saw once and could not photograph. But here it was back then. A great day for a railfan, but pales in comparison to what we would watch later that evening on the news.
