Indeed, that might be your experience....

Since that's the P&R car shop building behind them, I just might know..........but let's let Roy continue to embrace his beliefs.

The sole guy in the photo to have cocked his hat - must have been quite the character (and in 1912, no less!) I haven't often see somebody do that in those old photos.

Out of the lot of them, if I had been there, or had noticed a guy like that in my old neighborhood, I might have been happy to engage in conversation with him, given his bold affect.

No, I wear a hockey goalie mask like the union requires.

I hope I made a good profit and you went to a good home.

I knew right away it was the Philadelphia & Reading RR. If you guys recall, (if you've been on board for quite a while), that our friend Pete was originally P & R Pete, so called after his home port RR. When a computer glitch would no longer allow him to log in under P & R Pete, he became "The Dirt". Don't know if he chose that handle or if Hev gave it to him. Hev always called him Dirtman. 8)
