New switch - West |
| Description: |
This switch goes in on the East/West Connection, near the North end of East Junction. The location for this is behind me in this picture. I have no idea how they're gonna get this monster in place. It has to be moved as one piece and close to 100 yards to its spot. This area was the only wide place there was, to unload this and put it together. Behind me to the left of this picture is a steep dropoff down to the roadway. |

Christmas |
| Description: |
A&R 309 is decked out with some Christmas lights. To the right is the ex SCL Union Station, to the far right, barely seen is the A&R main office. The concrete post to the right of the bare tree, and to the left of the Christmas tree, is a very old street light. The town of Aberdeen saved 15 of these and now have them in a park setting as seen here. These "used" to paralell Poplar Street and used as street lights, WAY before I was born...lol. |
