Widecab Wednesday

Nothing said "widecab" on Conrail like GE's C40-8W. Here, stacks round Beaver Valley's Horseshoe Curve Eastbound behind C40-8W 6174 & EMD SD60I 5591.

What is your map at home (title, year, etc.) We have two maps from the National Lithograph Co. likely 1940s, but we’re not really sure. There are no expressways on the maps yet, not even the Davison Freeway (construction started 1941, opened 1942). General George S. Patton Park was officially named in 1946, but appears on this map. Where did you find/acquire the map? These maps were passed…

A 1981 Yamaha MX175: An Eight Year Old’s Dream

A 1981 Yamaha MX175: An Eight Year Old’s Dream. I can not remember what we had been doing on that evening, or what friends I had been with, but I was happy to leave them to follow him. I was eight years old and I was busy learning how to become a cowboy on the horse that my parents had just bought for me. But he told me that he had a motorbike, “That would probably be just about right for my size.”
