Album Info:Here is a one-page advertisement (in two frames) entitled "On schedule, and time for a 'Coffee-break." It was published originally in the 01 November 1954 issue of "Life" magazine, page 52. "The throttle is at rest. Yet the engineer still feels the vibration and hears the rumble. He still peers ahead as if looking for signals. But now, he swings himself down from the engine cab for a 6-minute stop, and says to the fireman, 'How about some good hot coffee?'" (Page 52)
