Mary (the youngest Geek) and I attended a lecture by Hal McAlister, director of the Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy http://www.chara.gsu.edu/CHARA/ and then visited the newly opened Observatory to look at the Moon at twilight. Took a quick look at the unlabeled large vehicle collection as well. (pictures vary in quality because of the light levels)
More information on that unusual mine locomotive is available at http://www.railpictures.net/viewphoto.php?id=48259
The pictures in the slideshow can be seen at http://picasaweb.google.com/kirbysloan/TellusMuseumObservatory#
(the other geeks were jealous when I got home, as they thought an astronomy lecture would be boring. I tried to tell them that the observatory was possibly going to be open, but Nooooooo!)
