CBL 51 of the Conemaugh and Blacklick Railroad heads west on Broad Street in Johnstown, PA as the train is set to deliver a car of loads to Johnstown steel and Wire.

The wiring in a lot of the streets is just something to behold. But we've been advised it does have a practical purpose. A lot of these areas and cities are very prone to flooding, especially during the heavy rains of the wet season and if they buried the wires underground, as we do in the West, then they would get drowned in water and short out. So they just keep everything above ground, resulting in these masses of wires we see here.

First attempt at starting a bonsai from scratch. I kept this ficus in it's nursery pot for 2 years- today, I repotted and started to wire.
It's remarkable is the electrical wiring that the farmer installed. If it weren't for breakers (fuses in this case), the whole grid would go down over and over continuously. It's remarkable that the IBEW conned Ramey to use insulators. I wonder how often the Rural Electrificaton Administration ran into this when they introduced electricity to hay seeds. The siding on this shed is remarkable; rusted iron nails hold everything together. The floods certainly took it's shot at floating this shed away. I passed by the Ramey farm house and stone back house and got interested by the sheds north across another fissure. I walked (using my favorite walking stick) around the next fissure in the pasture to access the old sheds. This is the better of the two once-attached sheds and I am trying for some detail shots. .
These sheds were just rebuilt before the floods and now they are on their last legs. BoCo rescued the sheds but I guess their efforts are toast now. I have no idea why the county decided to prop the old buildings up but maybe Nebraska said they would sue if more of these things floated down the Platte. We ought to sue Nebraska if they send more folks up river for a marijuana hit. These out buildings are not so good after the river washed through and undercut them. The sheds work well with the stark winter woods, the dead season. I think back to the working days of the farm and wonder how busy and productive the Ramey place might have been?
I have already posted several shots of Ramey and how the pasture on the north side got ripped up by newly cut streams through the place. One fissure shows in the bottom. In fact walking across the pasture and through the structures involves tracking around all the fissures all over the place. I have a Ramey photoset under farms. A lot of the shots are at better times. I guess this is another loss to water diversions and gravel mining. The 61st street road has been rebuilt down to the 63rd Street bridge past the gate at Broley and I can now drive in. I walked the river road out behind Broley and noticed the Ramey fences were gone to Nebraska and I could access what used to be Ramey. I parked at the Broley gate and walked down to Ramey. Apparently, the water streamed up to 4 feet high over Ramey. The pond south of Broley overflowed everywhere including Ramey after the floods cut through the gravel pits around Broley and sliced through 61st Street and rejoined the original St.Vrain.
There are piles of detritus laying about in what was left of the pastures. Some folks are convinced the river ought to be moved back to some of its original, some places empty, course. Darwin should chime in on that idea; he allowed forebears to make a mess of it in the first place. The farmers are screaming about rebuilding ditches before spring. Have at it guys. The bridge, roads and private holdings are still going to require some serious work.

Cleaned up my wiring a bit. I have two power strips mounted to the desk, the left powers my clock and 3 externals that are not UPSed. The power strip on the right powers my 3 LCDs and is run from the 350VA UPS.
The strange looking white-tan-black mess in the bottom of the left outlet is my desk lamps' power bricks and the X10 module that controls them.
You can see my UPSes hiding behind the bottom 2x6, left is the 750VA for PowerHac and right is the 350VA for my LCDs.
By now you may have noticed my nice silver outlet boxes on the desk's legs. Long story short I got tired of crawling under the desk to plug my/others' laptops and other stuff in, so I grabbed $8 worth of parts at Lowes after work one day and added some outlets to my desk.

Dyno power goes up through guides on fork, then into fender underneath the fork crown to the headlight. From headlight back out of fender to the down tube. There will be either a light switch or USB charger as stem cap, haven't ironed out that detail yet.
This method of routing the dynamo taillight wiring uses two 6mm threaded brake cable barrel adjusters and the female half of a 6mm threaded seat post binder bolt.
The binder bolt acts as a barrel connector for the two barrel adjusters. It can get cut to whatever size is required to achieve the desired fender line.

Interesting scene to test my new lens just after buying.
If you ever visit Bangkok, I highly recommend the photo gear shop A.V. Camera at Charoen Krung soi 50, Bangkrak, two streets away from this one. A nice selection of cameras and especially Voigtländer lenses available. [rb_131216_00003.jpg]
In a busy bustling scene of activity at Hednesford the wiring team are seen approaching Hednesford station
The rest of the day was spent with my father unpicking all masking tape from the wiring looms and starting to split them up into groups depending on where under the dash they need to go. Sitting across the engine cover and over to the nearside is the all the centre consol wiring. This holds the door master switch, cab and OMO light controls and interior light switches. The bundle going up and under the windscreen is a growing bundle of earth cables for all the body systems. Yellow cables bundled behind and to the right of the steering column are for the door controls and the saloon heater. Finally the yellow stuff hanging out the side is yet to be sorted into a loom, likely it will head to the instrument cluster with the bundle of earth cables. The sea of multi coloured wires below the dash is a mix of chassis wiring which will need to be brought into the instrument cluster and linked with the thick bundle of red wires sitting on the cab floor to the right and left...

Or Weigling a wire? Either way, a painstaking exercise in artistry and fabrication. This triple-conductor, braided shielded cable has to undergo multiple delicate splice junctions along the way (every one of them soldered), while remaining strong, secure, weatherproof and, equally importantly, looking the part. Likewise, the frame's wiring accommodations have to be carefully thought out and executed. Notice Peter's magnificent tear-drop exit from the fork, and cable guide braze-on (each designed for specific diameter wires)... incredible details on this bike.
