Railyard: (Satellite, the classification tracks have been removed but some of the longer sidings still exist.)
Depot: (Satellite, a guess based on the topo map)
Shawn Dorsey posted Here's today's pic from my Dad's collection. There are several from this location. Michael Rembold: I'm saying Keyser. Look at all the loaded coal hoppers in the background. James Stout: Michael Rembold Could be. Turntable location would be correct. Being enlarged to 115'? |
Shaun Dorsey posted Another from my Dad's collection. |
Shaun Dorsey posted Another of Dad's photos...looks like more work being done on the turntable. We think in Keyser WV. |
Shaun Dorsey posted Like this photo alot...not sure if it is B&O related. Engine on a turntable with a bunch of "suits" and workers. One agile worker climbed the A-frame. [Some comments provide good evidence that this is Keyser.] Stan Carlson: The bosses are out to see what is probably the first locomotive to try out the new turntable. [And the workers who did the job are required to stay on the other side of the turntable?] |

Ken Neth III commented on Shaun's post with a restoration Stan Carlson: It appears to be taken from the roof of a steam wrecker. Note the three chime whistle in the lower right. |

Syaun Dorsey posted Another of my Dad's photos. Looks like he's got her up a notch or two. Paulette Szuhay: Looks like a EL 2 or EL 3. |

6 Looking West All images from North American interlockings states A to Z and Canada [A nice view of how the signaling pipelines would turn and go to the device they controlled.] |
Darren Reynolds posted seven photos. I think this is the additional photo. Looking West at "West Keyser" tower July 2000.. This was the helper crew sign in office.. Over to the right there's an SD-50 waiting for work.. Photo by: Chris Thompson |
Darren Reynolds posted the seven photos again, but with better comments on the photos.
Robert Brzostowski: Just FYI Darren, Jett Lowe was the H.A.E.R. photographer. He and I along with another HAER member, Christopher Marsten, spent the morning documenting the tower. It was to go along with the other HAER records pertaining to the B&O in Keyser.
