Puzzle Description:

A streamliner locomotive. (Mercury was a Roman god known for his speed.)

There was one service of the New York Central Railroad that was operated between midwestern cities and called "The Mercury".

Although the concept has been used in diesel engines, the most iconic were the last-ditch effort of the steam locos to stay competitive.

Pretty machines:

I love the perspective and the impression of oncoming speed that you accomplished with just a few black blocks. Thanks, Joe.

The train schedules (especially under Fascist dictators, apparently) were anything *but* mercurial. :)

For some reason, I keep hearing Johnny Cash.

Another spectacular one!

Reminds me of an art print my dad had. I can't post pictures at work, but if you look up "Exactitude" in an images search, you'll see it.

Awesome print!

@#6: I love that it's French. (Of course!)

Fantastic puzzle, Joe. The image really popped! (✬‿✬) -

Love the graphics
