The firemen for NNRY 93 & 81 help guide the locomotives under the smoke hoods of their engine house berths. The hoods help vent smoke out of the building when the engines are put away hot.
Yes, 69th give or take a day or two. As a child, starting in the early 50's my grandfather took me on walks through the Western Maryland BoWest yard north of Dunbar, Pa. The Baltimore and Ohio RR paralleled the yard and with some scrambling one could get down to the B&O, and then walk the grade to the end of the Ohio and Baltimore Shortline bridge. (*BTW* one can no longer get to the beginning of the grade as it is marked no trespassing by the SWP RR. Scaling the grade closer to the bridge was not marked no trespassing) What a great opportunity for a 5 year old, toss rocks from the bridge. Through the years, I continued to toss them until I could get them well up the hill on the other side of Dunbar Creek. Not having tossed any for about 50 + years, felt compelled to give it one last shot. Way to much vegetation to get a good throw in.
OK Curt and all you other Fayette County architectural and structual fans. I have alas been holding out. I didn't realize I had this it is circa Early 70's.The WM and B&O are to the left, Dunbar Creek, Sitka and Bittner to the right. The O&BSL was to provide a low-grade route to Wheeling, WVa. for the B&O. It was chartered in 1873. While chartered it was not completed to Bittner until the late 1880s. With all of the other railroad wars going on and large gains to be made by the B&O trying to get into New York and other places, the idea for a lowgrade line to bypass the congestion of Pittsburgh and go from Baltimore to Chicago fell by the way side. Note the bridge is constructed to be double tracked. It does answer the question of the bridge piers in the Yough heading east as this was a bypass and no reason to use the yard in Connellsville. **BUT** Curt, Jon and all the picture I found of the 'yough' bridge shows a giant stone arch on the Dunbar side similar to this one. Obviously no trace of it seems to exist as I never saw it in the 50's and 60's when I was a frequent visitor to this area. Also appears that the PRR line ran under this bridge to service the West Penn generating station. It appears that the line declined with the coal in the Bittner Lisenring area and by 1941 the line was abandoned removed. It is fascinating to speculate what the area may have become with an additional line through the county and not just servicing the coal in the county. And lastly there was a bridge over Opposum Run close to Bitner with similar stone work, although I have never seen it...photo op perhaps!

!. Ohio and Baltimore Shortline Bridge shortly after the turn of the century 2. Long Abandoned, photo sometime in the early 70's. 3. Projectile selection is very important. 4. The goal, hit power pole distance. 5. Yea, I really scrambled to the top of the bridge. 6. blurred motion indicates projectile on the way.
For the daily challenge of parallel, this is a formation of Canada's Snowbirds making parallel smoke trails over Comox, BC. This was my fourth visit to the airfield in the last few days to see the incredible training sessions. More Snowbird shots in my earlier posts.
La ville de Dunedin est historiquement intéressante. Créée dans les année 1850 par des Ecossais, elle se trouve tout au sud de la Nouvelle Zélande. C'est dans le musée du Chemin de fer situé à côté sa gare que j'ai trouvé cette sculpture en bois tout à fait intéressante.

Am I to blame for being a Romantic and a dreamer in a life that is all materialism and stupidity? Am I to blame for having a heart, and for having been born among people interested only in comfort and in money? What stigma has passion placed on my brow? I would like to pass by sighing, and not have anyone even notice me. For when others look at me with their superior smiles, their glances sully me. For my heart and my spirit are very high, and my eyes flee from theirs to contemplate the water, the clouds, or to look into my own heart.

The IIIg was the last of the screw-mount Leicas. It was manufactured until 1960 in parallel to the much more expensive, and of course more modern bayonet-equipped M3 that many people see as the best Leica ever.
This particular body was manufactured in 1958. It has significantly more bulk than my pre-war IIIa, but the changes in handling are, at best, incremental. The larger finder is useful, and so are the parallax-corrected frames, but to me, the camera feels less "just right" than the 2 decades older model. But that is just my personal feeling.
Yes, of course she's complicated to use. Her design was obsolete even when she was new, But her build quality is beyond doubt and also, almost, beyond belief. Just go for a waltz with one of these ladies and you'll see what I mean.
That's just talking about the body. The lens ...quite frankly, I could never quite warm for the collapsibles. There is something missing there. The feeling of absolute, unflagging solidity. One thing is for sure, the glass is very easily scratched. Watch out for that if you consider buying an old Summicron. Always do the old flashlight test.
