Little late starting, as my wife's watch quit, so we went over to Panama City Beach to look for one and try out Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville, which just opened. Mmm, mmm, good!

Back in Veracruz, February, 1962, again.

Former Mexico City car 610 runs along the beach. That's the Gulf of Mexico behind it.


The motorman of former Pacific Electric car 200 has his eyes on the señorita and not on traffic:


Another view of car 200 taken from a side street:


Still in Veracruz next week.

I decided to scrape the bottom of the barrel with the last of my old pics I took
almost 30 years ago with a cheap pocket cam.

Some pics at the DT&I Jackson (Ohio) yard taken in July 1980 while on family
vacation:




A couple of the N&W Brewster Ohio loco servicing area in July 1979 (this was as close as we dared get)



& I hold in my hand the LAST PICTURE (keep the applause down says Carnac) summer of
1979 in Canton Ohio-CR local heading east with a disabled Reading car.
