On the left is the tender of a 141R (2-8-2) and on the right is a 231 C (4-6-2). The station and marshalling yard are behind the photographer.

trolley-truck, Italy,
The Valentina trolley system operated from 1938 to 1962 and this pic probably dates from the beginning of it. A total of 20 trolley trucks using 650 DC Volts were used to carry concrete, sand and equipment for the construction of two dams in northern Italy.

still from the movie 'Gas Pump Girls' (1979)
Obviously 'hevron' on the pumps is Chevon without the C. There is the choice of 'Regular' and 'Super Duper'. Having assistants like these would be sure to boost customers, particularly as it's rare to have any at all in most parts of America nowadays.
