a picture a day....

For today: " Riding my bike this morning down at the rail yard."

Looking at the vertical lift bridge at the mouth of the Cuyahoga River in Cleveland while eating dinner and enjoying an adult beverage in the Flats entertainment district.  June 2017. A train rolled over it about every 20 minutes.

For today: " Looking down the avenue early this morning."

I didn't see the "No Parking" sign.

It's actually one that I've had for many years now.  It's a K-line that I bought on Ebay.  I don't run it very often because it not geared for slow moving and is not the greatest puller.  I bought it because my uncle was traffic manager  for Kennecott Copper refinery in Curtis Bay section of Baltimore for many years.  Although the plant used B&O locos/switch crews and their own rubber tire switcher for all switching duties, I found this loco to be great remembrance of him.  I also have a Kennecott gondola which in real life kennecott had several.   BTW - The Nevada Northern Railroad was owned by Kennecott Copper.  It ran out of Ely, Nevada where there was lots of copper smelting plants and perhaps some mines as well.   I performed concerts in Ely about 5 different times when touring with Monumental Brass.  Of course I visited the Nevada Northern Railway Museum whenever there.  

For today: " Still having fun at the lake."
