The Georgetown Loop Railroad is a 3 ft narrow gauge United States heritage railroad located in the Rocky Mountains in Clear Creek County, adjacent to Interstate 70 in Colorado
This village has a population 4330, is the seat of Brown County seat and the boyhood home to President Ulysses S. Grant. Rural farming community about 40 miles southeast of Cincinnati.
Originally constructed in 1906 to power Seattle streetcars. Powered by coal it was displaced by hydropower. It has not produced electricity since 1953. The plant is now a museum.
Got this shot on the Key Bridge facing Georgetown in DC. Managed to get a blue hour shot with the sunsetting in the background. Worked in Lightroom to bring out the sky and light trails.
This little barn was constructed with the boards laid flat instead of vertically, which is a feature I have seen on granaries to add extra strength. Since this has a door and a boarded up window, maybe this was used as a granary with multiple bins inside. I like the location wth the Preuss Range in the background, including Meade Peak on the right, which is the highest mountain in Bear Lake County, Idaho.
Taken off the rickety jetty at Chew Weld, Georgetown, Penang. This wobbly structure and the old fishing village on stilts that surrounds it, sits incongrously alongside the modern structures of downtown Penang.
The tool bench at the Georgetown Steamplant Museum appears to be missing some tools. The plant last produced electricity in 1953, 70 years ago.
Sun setting over a framers corn field. About the only bright spot as far as the weather is concerned. Been a crappy few days weather wise here in southern Ontario.
Big windows and steep stairs at the Georgetown Steam Plant. Originally constructed in 1906, t's a museum now and is open once a month for visitors.
Happy Window Wednesday!

It's potato delivery day at the old Georgetown General Store in South Australia's mid-north. The old farmer has gone in to rustle up some crates to load them in while another hopeful local is looking to do a deal and get them straight from truck to trunk!
This is one of those wonderful old country town general stores where you could buy almost anything, and still appears to be in business today.
*********************************
A forced perspective of the old store as a backdrop for two 1/24th scale models - A 1948 FX Holden (48-215) and a 1953 Chevrolet 3100 pickup truck.

(If this looks familiar to my regular followers, that is because I have tried it a few times in the past, but keep trying to do better. The lighting on previous ones has left room for improvement.)
Constructed in 1906 by the Seattle Electric Company the steam plant was powered by coal. Within a few years, hydropower eclipsed coal powered electricity and the plant gradually fell into disuse. It was last actively used in 1953 but was fired up occasionally for testing until the early 1970's.
Seattle City Light owns the steam plant but leases it to the Steam Plant Museum. The museum opens the building for tours once a month.
