Great photos in the FB links. A skilled photographer using symmetry and perspective. Even the human subjects are interesting subjects. Like the woman taking notes; the photo is a study not a portrait.

Never mind the what is in the photos (the DUKWs, the Jeeps, the piles of anchor chain, the box car of anchors, the rows of equipment), think about all that high quality steel and the machinery necessary to make each of those specialized pieces. Then how do two dozen wheeled compressors get from some backhills mountain foundry and plant in Kentucky, out to the Pacific coast? By rail, and a lot of it too. Impressive!
