MisterBeasleyTo be honest, I never realized that restaurant had been a train station.
Can you mention the name of the joint, Mr. B?
I'd like to look at it in one of the satelite views.
Regards, Ed

The current restaurant is The Salted Rim. Before about 2013, it was The Royal Zephyr. It's on Atlantic Avenue. Depending on your source, it's either in Millville or Ocean View in Delaware.
It takes an iron man to play with a toy iron horse.
evenin all,
Not much going on here except rain, We got 2 inches in an hour and a half this morning and so far 3.5 inch total. had a short break but it is raining again.
I won't complain it was getting dry here quickly.
About the cooties, they did not require me to quarantine when my co-worker came down with it, even though I was the one that had worked with him the most. Because we followed the mask and gloves , hand wash thing, unless I showed symptoms they did not quarantine me. I did isolate my self from the rest of the office for a week. ( I have 2 desks, I sat at the one I have in our storage). I stayed away from my parents and I don't go out much except to work anyway. They co- worker was only out 10 days because he had a very light case of it
We still have not seen any of this "over run" of the system. we have returned to almost normal operations. We do have one unit dedicated plus part of a critical unit dedicated.
Been cleaning out the extra radio junk from my basement and been selling quite a bit of it at bargain prices ( most I got for free).
Eveing Diners!
Flo, give the gang and I a please and Dirk and Robbie a dog treat!
Had 3 people come in the store with no mask and 2 with there nose hang out! Not on my watch! I don't wanted them to buy that badly! All of them complied so I helped them. First time in about 5 weeks that someone came in with out mask. ILL is taking the crude pretty seriously and the state is no longer a hot spot for the bug.
Trains like me tonight so all is well with the world!
Later, Ken and Dirk say's I pooped in the yard daddy, treat? Woof, Woof!
I hate Rust

Thanks, Mr. Beasley. That made finding it much easier, I was looking all over Bedford, Mass!
I didn't do too much digging. The loco is a former U.S. Navy S100, 0-6-0T from the Brooklyn Navy Yard, then went on to the Wilmington & Western then the Queen Anne Railway. The two coaches are the ubiquitous New Haven 8600s made by Pullman/Osgood-Bradley up in Worcester.

Here she is in better days:
Maybe someone from Jerry Jacobsen's Age of Steam will come rescue her? AOS already has sister #4 in their collection.
As far as I can see the closest rail line was to the west in Millsboro.
Hi gang!
We chose Michigan for the October Diner because of the fall colours, but we haven't seen many posts related to that. So, here are a few pictures from 2020:
Brent, where's that Nissan when you need it?!?

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
How about some Michigan tourist railways:
Looks like you could spend a couple of weeks just riding steam trains in Michigan!

Tho forum software won't let me update my profile, so my signature is kind of a static historical entity as well.
There were more railroads here decades ago. Just down the street from me is Railroad Avenue. It's flat and straight, but I've been up and down it on my bicycle and there's no sign of former tracks. The library and historical societies are closed, or I would look there.
I've got to visit the restaurant before they move to see if they have any old info or maps.

Great pictures of fall colors. Thanks. We don't get much fall color here. Things generally go from green to tan to brown here. I wish we had more yellow, orange, and red.

I asked my doctor if I gave up delicious food and all alcohol, would I live longer? He said, "No, but it will seem longer."
Afternoon folks!
Just took another trunk load of old junk metal stuff down to the recycler. Amazing how much crap one can accumulate that is of no value at all over about a 35 year period.....
As long as we are sharing fall foliage photos (mine are not anywhere as awesome as some already posted on here). These are shots from the glen in Naples, NY where my lady friend and I were hiking. She is amazing and had no qualms about climbing over rocks and logs in the stream to get to the upper falls. I chickened out about half way there. You will see some of the rocks and stuff she just jumped over and on to fiord the creek... I would have likely slipped and smashed my head on one of the rocks! Anyway, enjoy! These are all from Grimes Glen Park in Naples.
Yep! That was her climbing over the log before she crossed the stream...
Enjy!

Flo, give the gang and I a please and Dirk and Robbie a dog treat.
I was in a pretty good mood till I got home. Over all the first part of the month has been pretty good to me! Made a extra $334.00 in commission at work, not bad for working part time. Far as 2020, got 6 weeks of paid vacation due too the crude. Paid down credit card usage from 40% too 18% and credit score is up to 750. Have a dog I love so life should not be that bad tonight?
Nope wife is driving me nuts! Besides being a horder she should be on happy pills. But Noooooooo, she does not like them! She has nothing too worry about, so she gets bored.
Tells me the same thing over and over again and it is driving me nuts! I have never been a person to throw in the towel but I am so close tonight. Might be time to buy a RV for Dirk and I and blow this sene.
All so think about having a Do Not Resuscitate order done for myself. Why won't she take her darn meds
Later, Ken and dirk ask "What a RV daddy Woof, Woof?"
Judy's kind of driving me Nuts too Ken
She's got my phone from me again talking to my brother while we were planning our Bigfoot Trip this spring
Last I was talking to my Bro earlier this evening, he was going to come along with me to join the Twin Cities Model Railroad Club this month
Now she's got my phone again

Since we are in Michigan...
This is a punk band out of Ann Arbor Michigan called Sonic's Rendezvous Band. This is their one and only pressed record. City Slang was recorded in the mid-1970s about the time The Ramones were making waves in New York City. I actually had this on vinyl in the 1980s. This was like the Holy Grail of punk rock music in the 1980s. Everybody had copies of copies of copies on cassette of this song. All were terrible quality, and all were treasured.
I love low budget recordings, and the raw guitar on this track is some of the best ever laid down, beginning at about 2:55.
Fred Smith is the guitar player in Sonic's Rendezvous Band. He is formerly of the MC5. He was married to Patti Smith, the lead singer of the MC5.
I have got to say
I have never liked Punk or Disco Kevin
But I have always liked you
Track fiddlerI have never liked Punk or Disco Kevin
How can you use punk and disco in the same sentence?
Booooo!
Me having fun, circa 2008 or so:
I have not had a real adult beverage in over a month, but I think I will have a virtual beer tonight. Please feel free to join in.

Beautiful tranquil photos Ray!
You have no idea how much I wish that I could hike again! Dianne and I used to go for miles!
You got a point there Kevin

A lovely picture, John. Thanks for showing.
Here in the UK it is rain and more rain.
This Covid 19 is getting in the way. Not being allowed to go out much I need a holiday. Preferably a cruise.
Here I am pre-lockdown chilling out on our World Voyage.
Good morning
Nice pic as well David. Looks Mighty comfortable. Judy's day off today and tomorrow. We slept in and I are having a snow day. 387 accidents throughout the city. I don't know how minnesotans forget how to drive in the snow
We're staying in today and putting together a puzzle. Not that I'm worried about driving in the snow in my four-wheel drive, it's the others you need to worry about out there
Judy picked two movies for today, Bandits with Bruce Willis and Clint Eastwoods Grand Torino.
Prayers for all who need them
