Pennsylvania Railroad Passenger Depot
The completely restored Ridgway station in Ridgway, PA. This station was originally built in 1907 which was the final year of operation of the Philadelphia and Erie Railroad. It was also owned by the Pennsylvania Railroad, Alleghany and Eastern Railroad, as well as the Ridgway and Clearfield Railroad. It is now along the Buffalo and Pittsburgh Railroad mainline operating towards St. Marys, PA. (information from Troy Snead on Flickr.)

I recently captured this image while up in rural Pennsylvania. I really love the overall look of the image. It was captured with my Mamiya RB67 on Kodak Ektar100.
When my son was young, quite often, my Wife & I would take my son to various attractions in Pennsylvania. During one of our visits to the Strasburg Railroad and the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in Strasburg, Pennsylvania, I took these Photos of Pennsylvania Railroad GG-1 4800, GG-1 4935 and AMTRAK (Former PRR) E-44 502. The Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania is across the road from the Strasburg Railroad.
This photo shows Electric Locomotives GG-1 Number 4800 and E-44 Number 502 on the Turntable. E-44 No. 502 was the last one built by General Electric in 1963.
I took these photos with my Minolta Maxxim 5000 35mm SLR Film Camera on December 18, 1995 with Color Slide Film. I Scanned the Slide to create the Electronic Image presented here on the flickr™ site, using Photo Shop™ to improved the Exposure and Sharpness.

In advertising, one very unscientific benchmark of success is if consumers actually proudly display your ad. In my opinion, beer companies (with maybe the exception of Guinness) have butchered this opportunity for decades. They create a product which needs no real explanation and that is universally respected. And yet, when it comes to posters, these companies have been putting the same girls in bikinis on them for at least 30 years.
The result?
The only places you'll find them is dive bars and in the bedrooms of 13-year old boys.
The art above was an in-bar poster concept that unfortunately never made it into production (lack of cleavage I'm guessing). For those of you who aren't from Pennsylvania you truly can just walk into any bar there and say "lager" and you'll get a Yuengling.
Oh, and if I still lived in PA I'd petition to annex those parts of New York and the Great Lakes so the state would actually have a beer mug handle.
