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.

Old tunnel, bigger, new improved engine.

ReplyDeleteYeah, I was wondering how the crew would get out in the case of a fire in the tunnel.

ReplyDeleteTunnel was probably built by the Romans.

ReplyDeleteBuilt for steam back before EMDs were even a dream.
