Gondola.

You're positive? Why?

Murph,
That seems like the kind of stuff The Dirt would do but he would zoom in on the bolt and then back up a little at a time until all would be seen.

Protrusion on the left side of the car looks similar to my 2452/6462 (and other) LIONEL gondolas.

I invited that mini-conversation by my inquiries because I feel our using our intellects via our memories and experiences and observations throughout our lives, rather than merely flicking around with a computer mouse to resource information attached to some photos, is the more worthwhile and intellectually stimulating. In fact, when a participant just clicks his mouse to obtain the information about an object, rather than using his intellect in a deductive and inquisitive way, I do not see the accomplishment. It is a turn-off for me, and I have little interest in participating further by presenting Whatzits.

You were clearly using your intellect and personal observations and experiences to discern what it was that I was presenting, which, to me, gave the exercise some dignity and value.

One of the things that I remember that The Dirt did for his Whatzits was to take a very small piece of something like a wing of a fly and enlarge it so much it was (usually) not recognizable. Then as he backed off the Whatzit actually got smaller and it could be made out.

I remember that.

So, whatzthis?

Well, Roger, I guess no one liked what Dirt was doing, not a single guess at the small piece of a Desert Marigold.

Where would we have started? What could we have held onto in our imaginations and/or memories to begin any analysis?

All I was seeing was a blur, Had no idea where to start.....

Could have been recycled toilet paper.

NDA = Nancy D'Alesandro. Next time delete obvious clues.

As for the marigold I would have guessed, "Over pixelated yellow, gold or orange image."

And then the poster would have offered this clue:

[HONDO74]

Nancy Patricia D'Alesandro.

That was her name when the picture was taken,

The daughter of the Democratic Mayor Thomas D'Alesandro Jr. of Baltimore. As a young girl, she managed her father's book of people who owed him political favors.

I think that may be the way. Back off (?) a little at a time and someone probably gotten to marigold. Don't know about the desert part.
I mentioned in one of Murph's that showed a hand rail to possibly start with the bolt that held it to the carbody then back off.
I don't know what Pete did but it seemed to be along these lines. And they were from photos that he took and not found elsewhere
so it is not possible to find a source as some have been doing.
Oh, I best mention for those that don't know, Pete and The Dirt or just Dirt are the same person.
