Light engine 66145, 0B53 from Depot to Yard, failed on the Pompey up points between the depot dummy and platform 3.

66095 (1Z99) came from the depot, set off 3 dets and attached. Pushed 145 into P3. Waited for 1T42 Pompey-Wloo to pass then hauled dead shed to depot.

Note the smoke, from the detonator, that has just been exploded by 095.

I found this picture on the internet. The shrimp truck still visits this parking lot from Galveston, TX one day out of the month. Notice the old "Tally's" restaurant, and the motel the use to sit down the Goodwill parking lot?

I'd estimate this picture taken around the late 80s, or early 90s.

Here's the view of EXPO (Hawthorne) school from East 7th St.

Here is an example of Waterloo trying to be artsy... I'm surprised that the sculptures that grace our downtown are being left alone (so far). Iowa City had all the problems with Herky, but even our most outrageous citizens seem to appreciate or respect these displays.

the Waterloo "Skyline"...

There's John Deere, then the Ramada, Then Starlight Village, and finally, the Super Wal*Mart

A picture of "Wig-Town", which was on the corner of E 4th St., and Mulberry. It'is now a US Bank location. The Wig-Town sign resurfaced during the construction of the bank.

Wig-Town went out of business sometime in the 1980s.

There use to be houses where this new bldg. sits. It's a health clinic that caters to low income citizens and families.

People's Clinic was built a few years ago next to EXPO (Hawthorne) school, on Franklin St.

I stole this photo from another member of Flickr, because I was always meaning to take a picture of it, but it has now been painted over and taken over by Crystal Dist.

Places like this make Waterloo the anomaly it is.

There use to be houses on this street... they crumbled until they were basically shells of homes. Some were occupied, until a few years ago when finally all the homes on this stretch of Elm St. were demolished.

There use to be houses on this street... they crumbled until they were basically shells of homes. Some were occupied, until a few years ago when finally all the homes on this stretch of Elm St. were demolished.

People sell corn out of trucks in parking lots all summer long.

This use to be one of Waterloo's main employers until 1984, when it closed its doors for good, and hundreds of workers lost their jobs.

The neighborhood has never recovered.

...yet ANOTHER view of Elm St.

Here is another view of what was the 200 block of Elm. I took these pictures for another member who I believe grew up here when it was a nice area.
