A reminder of the past, remnants of the former Peasmarsh Junction, where the Guildford - Horsham Direct Railway line to Cranleigh left the Portsmouth Direct Line.
Taken on a backroad somewhere in Colorado in the early '80s. There is a sharp dropoff just at the end of the tracks that head off away from the camera. Where they went to I have no idea. I was surprised to find the crossbucks still in place. It looks like there was also a pedestrian path crossing the tracks.

Nevada Northern #10 "Ely" - 1889 Business Car
"The Nevada Northern operated a mining railroad near Ely, Nevada, carrying rich copper ore 160 miles north to connections with the Western Pacific.
This open-platform wooden car (which later received steel side sheathing and an enclosed platform on one end) is one of the finest examples of early business cars. Used by railroad officials as a traveling office, it provided two elegant staterooms, a lounge, dining room, galley, and crew quarters.
Originally built as Savannah, Florida & Western 100, it served on the NN from 1906 until 1947, then ran as Gulf, Mobile & Ohio business car 10 for the next ten years. In 1959, North American Car Company refurbished it, and donated the car to IRM in 1962. The ornate interior remains almost entirely original.
The Ely is the oldest "steam road" passenger car in IRM's collection.
Builder: Pullman Palace Car
Empty Weight: 143,200 lbs
Capacity: 10 passengers
Nominal Length: 75 ft"
Old train tracks just outside of Fairview, Texas. Had to climb through some brush to get to it, but I think it was worth it. As you might be able to tell, a storm was starting to roll in, so I didn't have much time to sit around. While standing here, the temperature dropped a couple of degrees.
See where this picture was taken. [?] or view it "grande" on black.

Dit was eigenlijk gewoon een testgeval, aangezien deze locatie nieuw voor mij was. En het was onderweg vanaf werk, dus helaas alleen een phone foto. Ik ga hier nog wel eens terugkomen met een goede camera ;-)
