And brought it back with us & made a slide show out of it. I hope you all enjoy it as much as we did taking the pics. And in case you get bored right away you'll have to wait a while for it to end. I think there is 42 pics here. :laf: :laf:

Glen,
Great pictures and they look like this side of the state, well the snow looks the same. It is FLAT over here.
Jerry
Was down in Peoli today Glen
Who parked the 8N on the snow pile like that :nofgr: thats kinda ruff on an old tractor :laf:
Thanks for that HaMeR :yoyo:. Donny would like to know about the train if you know anything. I'd like to know about the building that is kinda/sorta on stilts if you know anything.
Oh never mind :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:
It sure is flat on your side Jerry.
That little Ford's left rear is probably not on the ground. That is a deep ditch right there. I didn't see where the operator got thrown off so I'm figuring all is well other than the tractor is stuck. Near as I can figure they were trying to push the snow into the ditch & went back a tad too far. That is at the top of the hill down the road from me. Out past the Claymont HS.
Thanks Barry. That's an old Chesapeake Systems steam locomotive. It's been setting there for a couple years now. I'll try to find more info on it. The barn on stilts is a bit odd. I don't know the farmer so I'm merely speculating here. If you're familiar with bank barns I think that might be what it is. Only it's not dug into the bank. It was built on posts instead. It was used for hay & shelter for cattle years ago. There was less digging out that way & it takes less heat to keep a smaller space warm. There used to be plank siding on the lower part. This is all coming from speculation & memory of driving by there many times. HTH
Here is a link to where the Engine is setting. This is a historical place. My Grandpa worked on those rail lines for close to 50 years & Dad is a retired RR'er too.

That looks like a perty good days drive ya had there HaMeR. Thanks for sharing.
Looking forward to them nor-cal!!
It was a lot of fun Todd. We did go down an old gravel road that had only been lowed once this year. Diane was not very happy til we got to the bottom where the big rock & old box car in the woods pics were. :laf: :laf:
I'm glad you all liked them. I know we enjoyed taking them. It was a very relaxing & rewarding afternoon.
Cool pics Glen, enjoyed em. Thanks
You're Welcome Scott. Thanks for the kind words. :biggrin:
I still think it would be cool if everybody did this. Not necessarily on the freakin roads we were on. I wouldn't recommend that to anyone. :nofgr: I think spring time is a good time to do it as well.
I took some photos this weekend, the fog layer came and shut that down, will try to post what what I took, after work tonight.
That's cool. Can't wait to see em. :yoyo: :yoyo:
A bunch of rail fan's......Sweet!
My Dad had 42 year's with what started as L&N and ended up being CSX! Started out as a fireman and retired an Engineer!
Nothing cooler than a Train!!!
Dad worked for the PRR & Conrail. My Nephew is still a railroader. If you're ever near Lancaster PA here's a nice museum to visit. I think it took us about 3hrs or so to got trhu it all.

I can't divulge all of the pics on the card just yet tho. :eyebrow: The rest will come the 1st of April. I think everybody will like that theme as well. But til then here are the ones I can show ya. :wink:

Great pics !! Someone is a heck of an artist.
Thanks bambam. All I do is drive & point. Diane does the getting out of the truck & walking part. :whew:
:laf: :laf:
I was wondering what everybody was yapping about :confused: all I saw was one picture :shrug: then after accidentally clicking on it a new page opens with some really cool pictures with some really neat digging tools and deer with headlights came up :iroll:. Thanks HaMeR I enjoyed the trip but you geeks need a lesson in simplicity :innocentwhistle:.
:laf: What's easier than clicking on one picture & having a whole bunch pop open for you?? :laf:
These links will tell you the whole story about that shovel bucket. The 1st link is all about the Silver Spade which wore that bucket.

This link is just the search page with all the results.

Hope you enjoy. :biggrin:

Scrolling down to look at them in a nice say 640x480 size :confused:. They sit still then too. :innocentwhistle:
:laf: Next time you click on that slide show there should be two other folders part way down on the left side. One is hunting photos & the other is pens. Those otter keep you busy for a while. :eyebrownod: :eyebrownod:
