Hello Tom (MNCW)
Thanks also for the compliments and yes, that "EL tracks on street" shadow pattern are one of the most memorable images of being along and under a N Y City EL line structure. (Or Chicago EL for that matter) - especially when the sun is directly overhead, and very strong.
Below are some scenes of "Sunshine and Shadows" under the Bronx IRT White Plains Rd Line EL - some on Westchester Avenue portion and some on Southern Blvd segment, this EL line itself being one of the oldest surviving IRT EL structures built in 1903-04, and opened in 1904 by temporary trains coming off the 3rd Ave EL Jct. to it at E.150th St-Westchester Ave. I am sure you will enjoy these images ! Below those are some scenes along and under my O Scale NY EL -- for shadow replication as I did it.
WHERE did you grow up in the Bronx, and what years? I know every area of the Bronx quite well ! Or if you wish you can private email me your reply to me !
PS: for the locations of the real photos, put your cursor over either each photo, or the small thumbnail images at message bottom, and you will see the Location captions.
Regards - Joe F
