Drive-In Theater & Happy Thanksgiving

Great looking scene, Tom!  I’ll look for it next visit! 

Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Reminds me of that photo by O Winston Link, where the N&W train is passing the drive-in theatre at night. There are two lovers in a car "watching" the movie. The image on the screen is that of a bomber, maybe a B-29. Like Mark says, that's a great scene.

Happy Thanksgiving! Where's that turkey hiding, and who stole the apple pie?

The photo in question is called Hotshot Eastbound, and the plane on the screen is an F-86 Korean-War-era fighter jet.  I always wondered if Link intended it as an allegory of the fading steam age and the new jet age that was dawning at the time.

Winston Link was truly a genius.  Those who aren't familiar with his work can find more information here:

My personal favorites are his images of steam locomotives creeping down the silent nighttime streets of towns, probably because they remind me of when I was a very small kid, watching the steam switchers push cars down the streets of Berwick, Pennsylvania.  Here's one of those photos:

He was both a technician and a true artist, and in my opinion, deserves more recognition than he's had outside the railfan community.

Just to keep everybody informed, we designed this like everything else on our major display. Freelance. I appreciate the comments about that picture at the movie theater. But that is not what we created. But we appreciate what you thought.  The Family of Corner Field.
