Hello.
My grandpa had series of America magazine, with various articles, illustrated with big color photos.
One of them was about hydrants, painted like indian's totems, funny characters, etc. That looked cool.
Randy, the picture in #1031 post is amazing: so life-like! Love it.
Very Short Line RR
Pictures from somewhere in the Mid West.

Over here in the UK it's become a thing for people to knit 'toppers' for post boxes, like these :) https://youtu.be/GS3...YbDykV0N42z1x2I

She's on her way to the paint shops for a fresh coat of dirt.
This is next level.

Pardon my trespass here on your lovely scene, Randy, but I saw a gem within and felt compelled to bring it out.
Can't wait to see her new "paint job".

That's a nice shot Tim, thank you.
I pulled up the OR map view out of curiosity and located the VSL on a world map.
Empire, Colorado. Between Idaho Springs and Georgetown. Part of the Georgetown loop.
I Call it Conception Junction. This is the same viewpoint as the picture above.
If I had to guess, the original route builder's aspirations may have gotten the better of them.
