And when everything collapses and our modern-day engineer loses the use of his precious computer and canned programs, the remnant of my generation of engineers will use their slide rules to rebuild this world if it can be.

“And when everything collapses...”

I like how you incorporated doom and generational trashing in a single post...excellent.

The big problem will be replacing the damaged main transformers at power plants. AFAIK there's only one plant in North America that can build them. There aren't many schnabel cars that can move them. To that add the fact that fuel will be in short supply for any kind of transport including rail. What you're seeing in the picture is ONE schnabel car carrying a pressure vessel of some kind.

Let’s hear it for slide rules! LOL

On a serious note, if this happened experienced and older men would be seriously needed and quick.
