757th Railway Shop Battalion - Henry Brill knife

From Bruce Brill....According to my dad's separation papers, his job tiltle was "boiler maker." I have a knife he made (probably in "the shop") out of a propeller from a downed airplane. Two photos of it, attached, fyi. Notice the handle: some kind of plastic, which, I'm thinking, must've been "state of the art" back in '45!

thanks!

"Pacific 231" 1949 movie- Locomotives

Arthur Honegger’s Pacific 231 was also used in the 1949 French film with the same name. Honegger’s Pacific 231 was used as the soundtrack and as a tribute to the steam locomotive. From the screeching of the brakes, to the rumblings, whistles and vibrations from an actual locomotive, Honegger’s Pacific 231 is a truly provocative work.
