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

I'm pretty sure that I posted a version of this card a while back, but this copy is in far better shape and clearer......lots of good scenery ideas in this view. I also think that I had posted a card that provides a view from the opposite side of the tracks from the right side of the card....

Nice. Chuck-full of ideas and information. The track ballasting is so razor-sharp neat, it almost looks like a model train layout!

Almost every photo or RPPC's capturing images of the CVRR road bed looks like that - neat and sharp. I guess that once upon a time that attention to detail at this level was something that a RR would address routinely.

Off to Ricketts, Pa!

That's quite a place. Right on the railroad too.

3+ story wood frame house. Probably was the station and hotel there. More from Ricketts tomorrow......

Looks like a usable 4th floor or attic also.

Perhaps, the whole structure was built and situated like that to catch the maximum possible breeze wafting across and through that valley it surveils.

Maybe.........or that was just the most reasonable location to connect to the railroad?

The outside stairway to the third floor seems unusual.

The outside stairway to the third floor seems unusual.

Around back? Or is that the front? Or is it just direct access for the upstairs boarders to their rooms after a day's work or travel?

Big house with lots of interesting features that could spark some modeling adventures!

I enjoy your eye for detail, Roger. You often draw our attention to something noteworthy of which I hadn't taken particular notice. It's enjoyable and interesting when you do that.

I have noticed a few photos recently with a backwards S. Is that something from a 100 years ago? Or did you get these from one collection?

I've noticed that as well; seems like an affectation from 100 years ago.
