Pennsylvania Railroad T-1 Duplex, East St. Louis, late 1940s. Not sure whether the man is the engineer or a roundhouse worker. Whatever the case, he and those like him vanished along with the steam locomotive. The T-1 duplex-drive passenger locomotive was capable of speeds well in excess of 100 mph.
