A number of items in this photo give away that it's taken recently, but I still like it 'cause I was there taking the picture :)
Like the bucket loader and the guards uniform. :) :)

Old cars and old trains…My passion! :slight_smile: :slight_smile: (Too old for the “other passion”)

I was thinking the bucket loader and the thick telephone wires. I think most people might let the uniform pass, but maybe not what's in it :)

Edit to add the chain-link fence. Too modern looking.

Victor; I do believe that the contractor screwed that one up . . . good.

I would have said the loader in the background, the shoes on the flagperson, and the additional tag in the middle of light bar on the car.

These are delightful 'photos to be sure. I believe some of the shots are of Pere Marquette loco 1225 which is famed for the Polar Express and I also recognised NKP 765.

Many thanks to those who have posted them. I have had great pleasure in looking at them.
