Two Trains of Thought
Vintage Magazine Advertisement for American Locomotive

Text from the ad:
Are you the one person in a hundred who can point out which locomotive in this picture in the Diesel-Liner, which is the Steam-Liver? Good.* But, are you the one person in a thousand who knows which form of power the railroads need to meet the staggering transportation demands of wartime? The fact is the railroads need both. To meet certain conditions, a Diesel-Liner is better. Under other circumstances, a Steam-Liner is the right answer. That's why we build both. Whichever we build, Diesel-Liner or Steam-Liner, it will do the job it was designed to do. And it will be one of the world's finest, most modern locomotives.

*The lower train is pulled by a Diesel-Liner, the upper by a Steam-Liner.
