"In the Museum of Technology there's an exhibit for Vault-Tec Vaults and one of the informational audio clips talks about how vault doors "can withstand a direct hit from an atomic bomb with only a projected 2% failure rate." And that's when I realized that was why Vault 87 is inaccessible from the front doors."

Museum of Technology, 8/30/77
I've been getting used to taking the metro tunnels around the city to avoid things like raiders and super mutants, but at this point I think it's more of a danger for them than it is for me.
While looking for the Virgo II Satellite dish at the Museum of Technology, I took it a bit slower and tried to learn more about this pre-war world that destroyed itself.
It seems like the United States had become increasingly aggressive in their war against the communists, and the technology the world was developing grew increasingly deadly.
It's funny that 200 years later we still find new ways to kill each other.

This Game Boy, owned by a US Army medic, survived a barracks bombing during the 1990-1991 Gulf War. Despite being partially melted it still functions and is now displayed at the Nintendo Store in New York with a plaque explaining its history.

A picture of the famous German loco "Adler" ("Eagle"). It was the first steam locomotive to operate in Germany in 1835, built by George Stevenson in England. As the original loco was scrapped before 1900, the loco depicted here has been rebuilt in 1935 to celebrate 100 years of railways in Germany.

Ein Foto der berühmten Dampflokomotive „Adler“, der ersten Dampflok Deutschlands. Sie wurde 1835 vom englischen Lokomotivbauer George Stevenson gebaut. Da das Original leider schon vor 1900 verschrottet wurde, ist auf dem Bild der Nachbau von 1935 zu sehen.

Were you previously aware that two P-51 Mustang aircrafts appear in Fallout 3? One is located inside the Museum of Technology and the other in the Capitol Preservation Society in Rivet City.

You like trains, I like trains, I wanna share with you a train that connects us more than one would think!
This little adorable 2' Českomoravská Kolben-Daněk locomotive, built in 1940!
Tumblr media
One of the final locomotives built by CKD before it became BMM during the occupation.
And somehow, it made its way from Europe, to California, then over to Indiana. And when it arrived at the Hesston Steam Museum in Indiana in the 80s or 90s, they checked it over and found chalk marks on the inside of the boiler from when it was built.
It had never been steamed before!
Anyway hehe wanted to share an adorable little loco Ive seen and ridden behind
RIDDEN BEHIND?? I'M INCREDIBLY JEALOUS!! AND SUCH PRETTY LIVERY....
And it was THAT fresh? Sounds like a successful attempt at saving it from use/dismantling by the nazis, though I see that the story behind it is a complete mystery with only speculations around...still, very interesting!! :3c
