Had a good run with Ol Yeller today; A couple of pictures of the static displays. The first one is in St. John's, Then Avondale followed by Whitbourne

Before anyone asks, I have a hat on.

My daughter standing in the tracks in Avondale to show the narrow gauge

This pic I took just now is on 11th right at the crossing between 9 and 10 avenue. I think the older pic was taken a little west of 11 st.

With some Columbo like research skills,I’ve determined the pic was taken west of the 11st crossing. In these pics you can see the tower with the 3 lights and a greyish shack to the right of the train. Here’s that’s same light structure and little shack. You can also see the structure that spans over the track in both the first and last pic.

Sad knowing the signs on those towers have changed ...

Too much flat ground there to be in NL

Why do I think this could end badly?

 

[MikeysZ06]

Here’s something a little different. Would this not be a great way to “cruise”. There would be no arguing about passing because,,,,there is no passing.

Pretty cool those speeders. 100% certainty Earnhardt would have done a bump and run and gone from last to at least third.

Nice find Mikey.

Poor mans railway? Would like to know more about this one

 

[MikeysZ06]

In Lethbridge,they have a pretty big trestle which can be seen from the highway as you come into town from the west side. Sadly it’s been the site of many suicides over the years.

Say I want to change the motor from a six to a big V8 anybody know an easy was to get it out?
