And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Granite Canyon, Wyoming, U.P.R.R.
I like the juxtaposition of the old style hand hewn log cabins in the gully, probably the first mark on the land by Europeans, compared to the high tech (for that time) railroad grade looking all new and shiny.
I love old photos of the early railroads. Just imagine that all those ties had to be hand cut.
