2> note how the devil strip is getting narrower as it gets closer to the camera (definitely not lens distortion).

Neither did I; Google maps is informative!

Indeed I did. I only wish that we could pan back a wee bit to see more of that track!

I think that is coming off a switch, oops- turnout :roll: , from single to double track. Or the opposite.

Possible, and why I would want to pan back a bit to confirm that....

Nope. Cant do it. He'll be busy being fitted for his black vinyl outfit. (Can you picture it?) :mrgreen:

Their copious and vibrant, celebratory use of flags , in those days, acquaints me with the impression that folks were very, very patriotic, it appears. It makes me wonder about what has happened since then?

I have yet to understand why waving a flap defines one as patriotic. Why is it that when folks don't then they are unpatriotic? Most of the time the flag is inappropriately displayed by these "patriotic" people and at events. There is a entire code for proper display of the flag but I guess reading it, reading comprehension being what it is these days, is asking far too much of folks with their noses buried in their smartphones

Maybe patriotism for some is on the inside where it matters the most?

Our local scout troop seems to know nothing about proper display of the flag but some of them seem to have some kind of fit if it touches the ground.

Odd. I thought that once upon a time they were actually issued the booklet/pamphlet on flag etiquette....

Perhaps higher doses of Ritalin for the fits
