You guys have to see the pictures on this site. They are amazing photos on their own but they also offer some great views of things long gone. I can see countless scratch building possibilities here.

Thank you, Jon.
I really enjoyed this.
The photo of Meeting st. in Charleston,SC. from 1865 is really cool. Other than the road being paved, it doesn’t look much different today.

Cool. Does anyone know if that photo of Hanover Junction PA is broad gauge? Could be that it just looks wide because the box car is short.

Thanks for the link, Jon. Harpers Ferry bridge helps

I see this and wonder if my home suffered any of the ill effects when they shelled the square here in town.

My research so far has all (?) of the RR in the South Central Penna. as standard gauge track. The cars were 24 - 32 ft. x 7ft. IIRC.
