A few CVRR pictures and some other related pictures....

In the Chambersburg picture, what is the structure that seems to be behind the station?

Posted that other photo so long ago that I'm not even sure that the thread it was on still exists,

Actually, somewhere I have photos/card of the WMRR station - unlike in HJagerstown where there was a shared station, they had their own stations in Chambersburg, at least early on.....competitors that were not cooperative at times

Hmmm...I've never seen a pic of the Baltimore & Cumberland Valley (WMRR) station in Chambersburg. I recall reading that there'd been plans for a "union" station in Shippensburg but I think that might have gotten axed when the WMRR and P&R agreed to allow run-through trains to Hagerstown and Harrisburg.

Behind the Chambersburg station is the platform/shed...looks pretty ornate.

And, that's the "old" station in Chamberburg; I know I've posted photos of the "new" station.

That is a really lower quadrant semaphore there at that station.
Interesting name, Siiremanstown.

Just noticed that - should be Shiremanstown - typo/error of some sort carried through from the original RPPC to this version

A whole different town.

That's a wonderful, dramatic shot, showing how grand those early trains were in the life of a community. IMO.

Pretty sure that that's a copy of an earlier RPPC (might even have it or posted it before) but that coloration style appeals.

Could look up engine #34 to see what it was; there's a PRR XL(?) or maybe an XM produce car there to the left of engine.

Yes, the daily meeting at the "Park-N-Ride" lot just doesn't have the same sense about it.

A point well made!

Maybe a little bridge building is something that could be pursued?

[MurphOnMillerAve]

Yet, would a project like that being-built bridge look like the layout itself was still under construction, or would it look like it was a construction site being modeled by the little people and within the miniature world, one could wonder.

Wait a minute, now that I think further about it, I have modeled construction sites on layouts....

........ I had modeled construction sites on layouts....

I once built a module that depicted the serial construction of boxcars on a siding.....maybe 18" x 30"?....along with another track for delivery of supplies and support materials

I suspect it is on the floor under my layout........somewhere.
