Now THIS has some really nice pictures: http://www.shorpy.com/
You can look at photo collections of railroads, mining, trucks and cars, factories, service stations and all sorts of things that you just might want to model.
I’d love to do an elevated track like this. Wish I had thought about it awhile back.
Nice find Bruce. Thanks for posting. I love the full-size hi-res versions.
Yes, that large size hi-res really helps if you’re going to build something.
That pic of an 1862 Culpepper, Va industrial yard with the 3 way stub switch is pretty phenomenal - http://www.shorpy.com/node/4535?size=_original
