As soon as I turned to this page and saw that picture, I said, in my mind,"Wow. How nice!" I think we all feel better when we see a verdant landscape, instead of a white snowy one, notwithstanding how "picturesque" snow might be.

Amazing, how we were able to print in color, long before color photography. This is Currier and Ives:

Interesting spacing among those RR-ties.

The track gauge seems wide, too.

During the Civil war and prior to then broader gauges were not uncommon.

Interesting spacing among those RR-ties.

Artistic license? I would not want to be painting anymore ties that what appeared to be adequate to capture the overall scene.

Hhmmmm, artistic license, could be. An interesting interpretation, Rufus..

Pure speculation on my part.....

Considering the axle loading of that early of equipment and the possibility that this is wide gauge, those ties may be spaced correctly.

Just need to find a few real photos of the period to confirm.

Tourists Dining Room, Caledonia Park in Michaux State Forest along Lincoln HighWay between Chambersburg and Gettysburg

Seems a lot like a camp I went to as a Boy Scout for a Jamboree sleep-over/camp out, back in the '50s, along Rt30 in Ligoneer, PA. Wonderful memories.

I really do have to just stop in at the park in Caledonia someday soon.
