I really like that third photo. A friend used to work on the P&BR at the Point as an engineman; he has some really great shots. One of those bottles under a blast furnace? It looks like a Z scale model on a G scale layout. Steel mills are huge!!!!

Hi Lucas

Very cool rail fanning, the down river area.

Plus a lot of fun places to stop for lunch, and maybe even do some river fishing.
