Town and country...
This week, I have two panoramic images showing the contrasts between the rural and urban areas of my layout. First is an image from the early early years of Penn Central in 1969. A westbound freight pulled by three four axle EMD units heads west with Blue Mountain and Carlisle Gap in the distance, just east of Mattawana:
By contrast, here is a photo of an urban part of the layout as it appeared in the 1950's. The image shows the diesel maintenance shop with a set of EMD passenger E units being washed at the facility set near downtown Altoona:
Enjoy that leftover turkey as well as the images!
