STEAM ENGINE



This is Charles Campbell standing on the ground.  To the right leaning on left
 elbow is Guy's grandpa.  Guy said that he and grandpa shared a bedroom together for a long time.  About three times a week Grandpa would come home from ? or the card playing group or whatever, wake him and they would sit there and kill a quart of ice cream.  
Guy said looking back now, I know this was in front of the northern end of the railroad building.  It was a long building.  He doesn't remember the two story wooden building so believes this picture was old when he got it.
Wonder who the woman in the picture is?
