An anvil set beside locomotive drive wheels and a coupling rod makes an unusual pairing, and this carving joins the blacksmith's tool to the linked wheels that let a steam engine's power reach every axle. Emblems like this one honored the trades that kept rail lines running, from forging and machining to engine repair. The coupling rod, which ties the driving wheels together so they turn in unison, is the detail worth studying, since it carries the mechanical idea the whole design is built around.
