August 14, 2008 (Thursday) Proto Photo topic

[3rdrail]

Here are the last three photos taken in Boston in 1956 and 1961.

Car 5706 and another "Type 5" on the storage track in front of Northeastern University, awaiting the close of classes. April 21, 1956.


It is midday and a large number of PCC's await rush hour at the outer end of the Riverside Line.


Rolling by a golf course, our PCC passes PCC 3259 inbound to Park Street Under, on the Riverside Line.


Next week, interurbans and suburban cars on the Montreal & Southern Counties.

Wow, Thursday again?

Well, here's stuff from two Sundays ago. A friend of mine wanted to go to Strasburg and do some photography, so of course I went along... He got the shots he wanted (mostly) and a good lay of the land around there, and I got to shoot my favorite steam locomotive.







We also scoped out the Railroad Museum of PA across the street:

Carl Eisele was my grandfather:


And some ex-Con hotness hanging around out back:


We then Returned to Strasburg to shoot the last half hourly train of the day, and then the power as they put 89 away:







And my favorite shot of the day, as the half hourly crew returns from their train (tucked away on the left) the hourly train returns in the distance:


Here they come past the shops:


Topping off the tank:


And then this last parting shot back out down the line:

I dug through the big cigar box full of pictures again, and found the following treasures shot in the late 80's/early 90's...


These cars were down in Pocomoke City back in 1994.  I haven't been down there since, so I'm wondering if they're not still there...  Probably the result of a "green team" waybill being stuck forever in a "red team" computer...



I knew I had a shot of that little beastie...  Probably from 87 or 88 near Penn Mary in Baltimore.



When we lived in Harford County, one of my favorite haunts was the Abingdon Road bridge over the Royal Blue Line.  I'm sure there's a bunch of undeveloped film in the junk drawer with many more offerings like this.



I found these guys down in Locust Point near the bulk terminal off of Andre Street.  Interesting lash ups would show up there from time to time.



Like a little something from North of the Border...



Here's some more Canucks shot around Golden Ring on the B&O.

Those JTRR guys sure are a class act!

There's just something about a keystone that makes a hopper look better!
