I was jogging between Queens and Brooklyn a few years back. Two assholes, shirtless and with shaved heads, didn’t move out of the way and took up the full width of the bridge. Only when I got within a few feet did I see that at least one had tattoos all over, including a swatzika over his heart. I felt sick. Both my grandparents fought overseas in World War 2 and now here we are, with idiots in our own country emboldened by the GOP and Trump.
These may be rusty but they are not completely abandoned. They actually have a steam train that runs on a portion of this line
“I get mine right down the street from an artisan place where my husband Geoffrey is best friends with the owners Geoffrey. So divine. “

This went to to a pier where they unloaded ships back when SF was a bustling port. They stopped using this in the mid 1960s.
Cillian Murphy’s character from Dunkirk makes it across the Atlantic with the name Oppenheimer and then creates the Atomic Bomb.
Brutal and real. For a reason.
“You see, first thing we did was teach it about the Bible and its teachings. Of course none of that Roman Catholic shit.”
And somehow the pharmacist is able to understand that as “tetraphosphate indigo” from Pfizer.
Now known as the Reading Terminal Market, an enclosed public market located at 12th and Arch Streets in Center City Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The original Reading Terminal opened originally in 1893 under the elevated train shed of the Reading Railroad Company after the city of Philadelphia advocated to move public markets from the streets into indoor facilities for both safety and sanitary reasons.
Looks good on my 12 Mini. Thanks!!
Sorry Freddie, AT&T can’t even call across the street without having a problem, let alone the afterlife.
I agree, it's too beautiful to be rusting away, hidden from view. It's a Pennsylvania Railroad (RIP) GG-1
I recall that day very well. We got every brick (what we called the Nokia phones back then) that we could and we built that wall
United States Transportation Corp #5002, an 0-6-0T steam switcher built by the H.K. Porter Company in 1942. Originally built to be shipped overseas the little locomotive never got around to making the trip and ended up staying in the U.S.
In the 1960's she was sold to an amusement park in Cumberland Falls, KY called "Tombstone Junction" who attempted to power a train ride with her and a sister unit. This proved technically difficult and they were sidelined and placed on display at the park until it closed in 1992. It was then sold to a private collector who moved it to the Kentucky Railway Museum in New Haven, KY where it sat.
It has recently been sold to a group in Pennsylvania and the engine has been moved here by KRM to wait for pick up and shipment by truck
My in-laws said thanks as I finished chugging the last of the Dawn dish soap in celebration. !Orange is my favorite flavor

Line went all the way down to Samoa, with the roundhouse and stuff.
The legitimate NWP Mainline is abandoned as far as I know. All the way to Cloverdale. Driving on 101 you can really see the weeds and grass growing on the line.
Smart wants to restore service to Willits, so I guess thats a plus."
