I had no idea that the power was different North/South though. That seems really odd.

"In the shuffling madness
Of the locomotive breath
Runs the all-time loser
Headlong to his death
He feels the piston scraping
Steam breaking on his brow"

A U.S. Marine approaches a Japanese soldier on Iwo Jima, March 16, 1945.
The Japanese soldier was buried for 1 1/2 days in this shell hole, ready with a live grenade inches away from his hand. The Marines feared he might be further booby trapped after knocking the grenade away from him. Promising no resistance, the soldier was removed from the hole and taken prisoner.

On May 27, 1870, the Chisholm Trail was featured in the "Kansas Daily Commonwealth."
From 1867 to 1884, ranchers used this major livestock route to transport cattle from Texas to Kansas during the post-Civil War era.
