Extra flags up front but running pretty close to #70's schedule this CP eastbound enters Chatham, Ontario - looking on google maps that elevator in the background is now days long gone - February 7, 1987.

lights on the elevator were provided by cars and trucks driving down the highway beside it

I've always been fascinating with fire escape stairs. The only thing missing here is someone running up or down. Oh well....

Briggsdale, Colorado

I take this elevator to my office most days when I'm too lazy to take the stairs to the 4th floor. Looked up and noticed how the circular lights reflect on the metal surfaces. Turned up the contrast a bit and this is the result. Hope you like it. :-)

Lacerda Elevator in Salvador, Bahia, Brazil. This elevator allows people to move from the low city to the high city or vice versa. Very popular and frequented by tourists from all over the world!

Sipple, Montana

There is nothing else of Sipple. Built on the Milwaukee Road.

Six of my grandfather's eight siblings went to Montana before and during the Homestead boom. None ever went back to the Ozarks except to visit.

Ault, Colorado

This is the first time I have visited this elevator when the light was spectacular and the base wasn't littered with parked trucks and campers.

I received a message from Cody last evening that two of the elevators in Warner are coming down, very few of these prairie giants remain......and this just happened to the last elevator row that was left in Alberta.
