Hello Everyone---I found an old photo of "Beeg Boy" at Airline Junction on Doctor Wayne's EG&E

Hello Everyone---here's a shot of CNR #4300 taking a spin on the turntable

A northbound at South Cayuga, probably early '30s:

Something about the black and whites makes the photos seem so real. Sometimes I really have to look hard to determine whether it is real or a model.

Hello Everyone---Gary,I also like how black/white helps to bring out the details (BTW,looks like your project is taking shape,looking forward to further developments)---here's a front end shot of a couple of CNR steamers

I especially like the photo of the "Beeg Boy" at Airline Junction. The way it is photoshopped to look like an old photo is superb. The background and buildings are very convincing.

On a different subject, I am trying to read/respond to several threads, but my internet service is dreadfully slow tonight. Since i am in the "boonies" as far as the cable folks go, I have satelite and must contend with the Fair Access Policy. My daughter downloaded the latest version of Explorer and must have crashed the satelite!

Here's a b&w that appears to have been hand-tinted, although it's looking pretty faded now:

I also came across these views from around Dunnville, circa late-'30s.

Here's Grand Valley Mogul #34 again, this time tying-up traffic to both Wilkinson-Kompass and Coffield Washer as she backs to spot a car at the Walnut St. Freight Terminal:


Out of the way of the traffic in the first photo, she's still blocking Walnut St. as she tucks the car into the yard, with another loco a couple of tracks over further contributing to the congestion:


Here's a look at the Walnut St. crossing tender's elevated shanty, probably a few years prior to the previous photos:


This view of one of the Evell boys getting into his car dates the photo to probably late summer, 1939. With war in Europe about to erupt, the Evell factory will be busy and two of the Evell boys will off to Europe to fight:


This is the P&M Languay building, fronting on Liberty St. but seen here in a view taken from the lead to Creechan's Fine Fuels:

Snow scenes can be pretty nice in B&W too.

Ed, that was taken looking east at Summit Cut, before the highway bridge was built. Here is another.

I like the "feel" of this one. Downtown street sided by tall buildings, kind of an urban canyon kind of deal. Nice.
