Not going to speculate on what loco motive they might have for being there, but they *do* look well-trained ...

I was going to say something about all these puns, but I lost my train of thought...

For all of you guys who are railroad junkies as well as tuba fanatics, the locomotive that are posing on and around is a Milwaukee Road, Bipolar, electric locomotive.

Re: 1938 Franklin HS Band on a Train
I ashamed of you guys. Though the name of the type of locomotive is actually the "Bipolar electric" I expected many more bad puns and comments. Are Jay and Imperialbari the only creative ones among you?

Maybe the subject wasn't sufficiently steaming for tubists to react?

Wish I could say anode watt would ampen ... certainly not their volt, though. Hope they're headed for ohm.
