Among several museums, we chose the industrial one, featuring transportation. The station wagon was so named because it carried stuff to the train station--this one built in York in the year my Lehman grandparents were married--1906. Seems that York and tons of towns were bustling with early auto builders. Then cheaper factories appeared in Detroit and those jobs were "shipped" there. Hmm, sounds familiar. Midwest then, China now. Get it? Doesn't mean I like it. Seeing our local carriages every day makes me forget how elegant one can be.
