We here at Matouring love to travel. Trains, planes and automobiles get us where we want to go. And we have been lucky enough to travel to places new and old. (We prefer the latter.) And, if you are fortunate enough to travel, you will probably be able to watch the progression of technology when it comes to the machines that transport us. But do you ever think about the machines? For example, when were they first put into service? Who was the first company to take ownership of that sparkling new machine. And, come to think about it, when did they first purchase it. You’ll be surprised at how old some of them are. But, just like us human machines, we’re only as good as we maintain ourselves.
