            I think I can just barely make out the serial numbers of my rifles sitting in the rack in the enlarged rack picture. Yeah. That's it.

            Great pictures. Thanks you for posting them. Love the Eagle and Shield design next to the gunner.

                A truly neat picture. Where does it come from?
                Must be on Luzon, as that is the only island that had a passenger railroad at the time...maybe it had the only railroad in the country at that time.

                  "When in Rome, do as the Romans" . . . . . . . . but, maybe because I'm getting too old, I would not feel very safe sitting on top of that carriage, even though I suspect they went very slowly, and such "seating" is common to this day in India, Pakistan, etc.

                      It's funny, I feel the same way that you do but 30-40 years ago that would have been no big deal and probably even be considered fun!
