Description

A photo of President Harry S. Truman, wearing engineer's gloves, taking a turn at the throttle aboard the diesel powered train en route to Missouri with the President and Winston Churchill. After the train left Washington, President Truman went on a tour of inspection, including this visit to the engineer's spot. This is similar to 90-13, but a much better photo.
