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

Extended smokebox and slide valves, I'm guessing twentieth century.

But it seems to have a link and pin coupler on the front.?

The last 4-4-0s were built in the 1920s for the IC commuter service, if I remember what I had read.

Nothing new about the slide valves. The extended smokeboxes were for coal-fired engines, and started to be seen c.1880.

Interesting groups of "telephone" poles on the left side.
Also seems to be more on the right.

The ones down in the flood plain would seem at regular risk.

Your original posting.

Rufus---
Was this a quiz to see if we forum readers were paying attention? I would say that you posted
this photo once before, and I still admire that way it shows the road winding off into the distance.
Might be a different 'card, though, as the second posting does not show the brown blob in the center
distance....
Ok, now, what's the prize??

No, just a slightly different print/card - I just liked the different toning/coloration and it was in the folder with the rest of the ones in the Hoffman's folder - probably will get around to merging this into the Bedford folder

Prize? Prize? We don't have no stinkin' prizes,

Rufus, knower of all things related to postcards...what is an RPPC? A "real photo postcard", a photograph that's been imprinted with the standard postcard format on the back by the photographer? Just curious...I have a ton of them and I wonder if they were manufactured commercially or by the image owner.

If I've asked this before I apologize...

You've nailed it - RPPC - Real Picture(Photo) Post Card.

Depending on who took the photos and what they are of could be worth a good bit -- Laughlin cards run anywhere from $10 - $200 depending on condition and scene.

Do you suppose the "blob" could be an orb, visiting from another dimension or galaxy? They have made their fair share of appearances, it has been reported, by some UFOlogists, ya' know.

Hi Rufus, have you ever spotted any can't-be-accounted-for "orbs" around your house, like when you were out grilling burgers, for example?

Common out in rural PA......

Nope. Bears ate them.
