Such a shame. Pennsylvania has experienced so many horrifying river floods in communities during the decades.

That was 1936 but such comes from building close to rivers.

Well, Human beings have been doing that for millinea, for myriad obvious reasons, haven't we. Hwang ho; Tiber; Nile; Ohio; Danube; Mississippi; Thames; Monongahela; Congo; Ganges leap to mind for me.

Indeed and we continue to fail to plan for the inevitable disasters despite having a millennia's worth of experience. We still build along rivers, in flood plains, along shore lines prone to hurricanes, mud slides, etc.

...and some of those present cities have come to realize that are in trouble. New Orleans; London; Venice have strong indicators of such trouble.
Whether any new settlements have been started is something of which I am completely unfamiliar . I had no idea , as you state, Rufus, that we are continuing to build along rivers and flood plains? Where would that be?

New? Probably are some going on right now, but there's enough rebuilding along rivers and shores in just about every city to demonstrate that little has been learned, that insurance companies and zoning commissions will do anything for money, and people with that money feel more and more entitled every day.

The bridge on the left in the top photo is just about identical to a series of them, carrying S Duquesne Blvd, and stretching in-tandem across the Monongahela River which separates McKeesport from Duquesne, PA .
Nice to see.

Interesting, a combine in the middle of the train. Two separate sections to be split down the line, or were combined somewhere up the line?

Almost looks like the aptly named Mountain View Hotel is located adjacent to a cemetery.

Are you sure that's what that is? Huge and w/o a church nearby seems odd.
