I always find "then and now" photographs to be fascinating. I have never been to New York in my 62 years, but I do recognize many places from photographs. Pittsburgh is "The Big City" to me!
Yinz can quit laughing any time now!

This just happens to be one of those engines I wish somebody would make Its an Alco Century 415
Thank you Ben!
Yes, the old B&O station. I grew up out in the country in the same house my dad and grandpa grew up in. However, it was about 1/4 mile from a rural B&O station. Dad said they would ride the train in to the Pittsburgh B&O station then take a streetcar out to Oakland to see the Pirates play in Forbes Field. He took us to Forbes Field later, but the B&O had stopped passenger service by the mid '60s.
Good point about not seeing a model of the Alco Century 415.
