"The Mists of Time":

        IMG_0151

The name on the motorcar shed is "Montgomeryville", the sign on the Post Office says "Adrian, Pa" and the people who live(d) there have always called the place "Gumtown". My Dad's folks's place is 90 degrees to the right and beside the tracks. The bridge is a steel trestle and is 100ft down to the creek below. I watched my cousin walk across that railing one day in the misty past. When I said "Mark, you are crazy. Its 100ft down off the side!" his response was "But it's three feet down off the other side."

You are looking downhill in the pic. As a kid visiting my Grands I watched a lot of B&O Fs and Geeps struggling up that hill. Almost always a pair of F Pushers in Notch 8 shoving hard with a cloud of traction sand blowing out from underneath.
