General Motors EMD FP7A prepares to switch to the siding track to run to the back of our excursion train. It's an antique diesel locomotive, coupled with an EMD BL2, and they sure looked fine. This ride, from Elkins, WV to the High Falls of the Cheat River and back took about 4 hours and was a blast. The scenery and relaxing train ride really make for a great trip.

This green locomotive is still used to switch a pipe-related manufacturer across the Youghiogheny from McKeesport, Pennsylvania. I think the faded MCRR may stand for McKeesport Connecting Railroad.
A railroad signal maintainer performs adjustments on a track switch during a routine inspection. A model 5H switch machine is used for this installation. The maintenance involves, among other things, a confirmation that the switch points and other components move within a relatively narrow tolerance. Too little pressure on the points, or misalignment of components by a fraction of an inch can result in a derailment.
The model 5H had previously been produced by General Railway Signal, but that company has since been acquired by Alstom Signals. The full operating and maintenance manual can be found here:

i switched the orientation of my bed today so that i could sew on the occasional table from my desk. the table is a lot more functional this way--i used to study on it for the LEED exam and it functions as a dining and clothes ironing table in this position. the only bad thing is that the bed takes up a bit more room and it is harder to get into and out of bed.
Taken for Saturday's post on my new blog: How to Clean Like a Man.

The pickup selector switch tip shone stark white after being polished perfectly smooth (no more seam). A little Kiwi Brown shoe polish on a piece of synthetic steel wool toned it right down.
Putting on a new poker chip? Don't forget to peel the paper off the adhesive backing! I buffed this one up just a little to knock off some newness and sharp edges. The original had turned unreadable and orange.
A 1/8" thick rectangle of maple was screwed into place underneath this neck pickup, using the original mini-humbucker mounting bar holes, to bring it up to height. For both pickups, the height is 1/4" from the top of the cover to the bottom of each E string. The pole peices were adjusted up to follow the curve of the 12" neck/bridge saddle radius, then tweaked by ear. (I also aligned the slotted heads horizontally, for no good reason. I've since decided vertically aligned with the strings looks better).
Many guitars have their pickups raised WAY too high...affecting both playability and sound. Gibson factory settings for humbucker height is 3/32" for the bass side and 1/16" for the treble. I don't know what it is for P-90s, but these pickups have BIG coils (and TWO magnets). Much higher than 1/4" and the magnetic fields were beginning to affect the sound in an undesirable way.
Why did I go with Gibson pickups? A very long story involving a ton of research. Suffice it to say they're rock solid and traditional Gibson like the guitar itself. Why not go for boutique pickups with higher output for the bridge? Because bulltique is made-up mystique and I don't want one hotter. I want it real. That's what a Volume knob's for and why neither one goes to 11.
This building at 34 Aliceton Road, Gravel Switch, Kentucky, was constructed between 1900 and 1925. It initially housed Johnston's Store, a general store and grocery.
"In March 1924, J.R. Johnston’s store burned, and he moved a new location by December of the same year. In October 1931, R.O. Harmon purchased J.R. Johnston’s store and 'began remodeling it for a modern funeral parlor,' " according to a National Register of Historic Places Registration Form.
