Kind of hard to tell from the picture but since this is the reading would the engine be what we refer to as a camel-back ?

Yes, that is a camelback steam engine in the picture.

Back to the Grand View for a while during what promises to be a very hot week.....

UNFORTUNATELY.....

Historic Ship Hotel burns
https://www.lincolnhighwayassoc.org/ca/ ... otel.shtml

SCHELLSBURG, Pennsylvania - The Ship Hotel, a 69-year-old historical landmark located on the side of Allegheny Mountain on Route 30 in Juniata Township, was destroyed by a fire early Friday morning.

The hotel was famous for people climbing onto its deck to get a grand view of "3 states and 7 counties." The saying was emblazoned onto the side of the hotel from its construction.

Yes. I had posted a few cards of the hotel quite a while back where we discussed its fate. I found a handful of cards that I thought we could return to the site and re-visit.

I thought I had seen some pictures of it before, and now I remember some of the conversations about cars that were parked there and trying to identify some of them.

I've got another 4-5 in the queue.

Any photos of what the site looks like today?

I don't have any, but I'd bet you could track it down via Google maps, etc.

Such an excellent view! An inspiration for layout modeling ! Your postcard reminded me that I've done an area similar to the one you have shared of The Grand View Point Filling Station, but yours is better, more, well, ah er, realistic! And dramatic!

[Rufus T. Firefly]

I rather like the look of the rock behind the station, that castle like thing above it with the crenelations, and then there's the sign up on the rock itself. Very nice placement possibilities that would work on a layout.

There is a picture of the Ship Hotel on Google Earth on route 30 west of Bedford,PA.
I think it might be one that Rufus showed here.

That's the location, but it's long gone now...............
