I'm a bit obsessed with manhole covers and drains, and couldn't resist this one with a puddle of rain water :)

In 1979, utility workers accidentally cut into a petroleum line in Culver City, California, creating an explosion that leveled half a city block. Since that time, utility workers have developed a code engineers or construction foremen spray paint on the street to denote unseen hazards beneath the surface to help workers avoid accidents during construction projects. They use both colors and shapes to create their nomenclature, which, to a an ordinary pedestrian, can seem like a mad graffiti artist's chaotic manifesto, a work of art inspired by Cy Twombly, or something reminiscent of the paintings found on the walls of caves. In any case, this is how one might decipher the code: red = electric power lines, cables, conduit and lighting cables; orange = telecommunication, alarm or signal lines, cables or conduit; yellow = natural gas, oil, steam, petroleum or other flammables; green = sewers and drain lines; blue = drinking water; purple = reclaimed water, irrigation and slurry lines; pink = temporary survey markings, unknown/unidentified facilities; white = proposed excavation limits or routes.

A number of power companies had their locomotives to power their coal trains. This train had two Detroit Edison units, A GE and an EMD plus a couple of Conrail units. I remember feeling stoked to have captured this even though the weather was less than ideal.
19th century home life was pretty much all manual labor. There was no electricity for any of the appliances.
