Impressive Thyssenkrupp Hydraulic Elevator @ The Keeter Center - Hollister, MO
(11-9-19) This has to be one of the coolest elevators I saw on this trip. I have not seen an elevator quite like this one before. I love how it has an open shaft, and has a copper cab!

Norfolk & Western J Class Steam Locomotive in Operation - Part 2
Here you can see videos of the only remaining Norfolk & Western J Class steam locomotive in operation. This giant 4-8-4 powerhouse was built at the N&W East End Shops in Roanoke VA in 1950.
The N&W is now the Norfolk Southern Railroad; and, it, in concert with steam passenger locomotive fans, refurbished the 611, which had been sitting on static display at the Virginia Museum of Transportation in Roanoke.
The first of these locomotives, numbered 600 to 604, were built in 1941–42, just as the United States enter World War Two. In 1943, 605–610 were delivered with the approval of the War Production Board. The last of these locomotives, 611–613, were built in 1950.
The J Class were designed and built completely by N&W employees, something that was uncommon for American railroads, which bought most of their locomotives from the major manufacturers of the day.
The total cost for building 611 was $251,544, which was equivalent to $2,441,000 in 2015 when work began on refurbishing 611.
In these videos, the J rolls out of the old N&W yard in Roanoke, carrying a spring-time load of fans on a verity of former passenger cars of well-known American railroads.
You can often see an N Scale model of the 611 pulling a consist of N&W passenger cars at Montana NTRAK layouts.
And, by the way, the unusual looking building in the background of these videos is the Taubman Museum of Art. If you turned around, you would see the Virginia Museum of Transportation.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
A museum ( mew-ZEE-əm; plural museums or, rarely, musea) is an institution that cares for (conserves) a collection of artifacts and other objects of artistic, cultural, historical, or scientific importance. Many public museums make these items available for public viewing through exhibits that may be permanent or temporary. The largest museums are located in major cities throughout the world, while thousands of local museums exist in smaller cities, towns and rural areas. Museums have varying aims, ranging from serving researchers and specialists to serving the general public. The goal of serving researchers is increasingly shifting to serving the general public.
There are many types of museums, including art museums, natural history museums, science museums, war museums, and children's museums. Amongst the world's largest and most visited museums are the Louvre in Paris, the National Museum of China in Beijing, the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C., the British Museum and National Gallery in London, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and Vatican Museums in Vatican City. According to International Council of Museums, there are more than 55,000 museums in 202 countries.
