OK, how 'bout some waterfront property in beautiful Detroit, MI:
...along with a few bridges:
And just a little ways upriver, an old gas tower:
The oxide red building in the background is part of Rouge Steel (recently acquired by Severstahl), which was once a part of the Ford Motor Company's River Rouge complex - where only raw materials were purchased, everything else (including the steel, glass and rubber) was manufactured on-site.

As promised, a few pics of the inside of the Bucyrus (OH) T&OC Station:
Each first floor window has a smaller stain-glassed window above it
Unique light fixture
Two very unusual fan designs. Although I really like both of these, I'm particularly fond of the ceiling fan with the exposed belt drive. I would love to have one of those in my house - i.e. if my ceilings were 10' or higher. Sorry about the overexposure in the second fan pic.

Time...It marches on...without ever turning around to see if anyone is even keeping in step.
KenCSX: When I was in Grade7, we took a trip to Detroit to see the process that Ford used to deal with the steelmills they had--I have in my archives a bunch of pix that I took from the catwalks near the furnaces at the River Rouge complex--the furnaces were closed that time--so I got away with some good interior shots

E49th & Hamilton Cleveland Ohio looking west
To the right is the old Cleveland Twist Drill bldg-to the rear left is the old Brownhoist Crane and looking straight down the tracks is downtown Cleveland They(NS) still use the tracks-saw a sd40-2 and gp38-2 dropping off cars.How those tracks can support a locomotive is amazing.
Pretty much the same shot just looking at the old roll up door that went into Cleveland Twist Drill

Hello this was the last working dairy farm in Twinsburg. Hopefully we can save it from the developers they sold the farm last year.
Have a nice day Frank
Frank,
That's the one that's on SR 91, yes? I agree. I hope that they can preserve it.
Hello Tom yes that's the one. That was the Corbett family farm it's been there for a 100 years or so. I have lived within 2 miles of the farm for 30 years of my 38. I am hoping my little girl can do the same. Have a nice day Frank
tstage that would give members a library of examples to draw upon for modeling purposes
I realize that this thread applies to structures but, I found this postcard to be too appealing not to post. It certainly is an old spot.
Shawnee Springs is named after the Shawnee Indian tribe that frequented it and they considered it sacred ground. Many believed that whom ever drank from it would return after death. The spring is located at Cross Junction, VA.
The train is for real and the local short line, Winchester & Western, still uses the right of way today.

Thanks for posting this beautiful scene, so artistically enhanced before real color film ! Could this be a 19th Century Photo Shoppe ? Will try to find this on Google Maps for my own amusement. A great Postcard...thanks, again Bob C.
Wonderful postcard there!!
Some things we came across on a recent hunt--
Wonderful old victorian house with a small carriage house in back---Woodstock ON
Some back alley walls----
And a remnant of a church----that's right --a remnant
Church removed to make way for a retirement center----

Hey Bob C,
You are more preceptive than you thought. Those old guys could do more than color enhancing. After researching the Winchester & Western a liitle more I found that the W&W was mainly a freight RR and never had passenger cars but used rail buses instead as pictured below.
The history of this RR leaves out the details of the two previous owners prior to Unimin Corp., but that's a story for another time. It gives new meaning to the addage "truth is stranger than fiction".
Hello here are some bridge shots.
here is a station this is in Bedford Ohio
not to sure what this building is
cool house
down the tracks
have a nice day Frank
Hello are a few more shots.
This was by the station so I took pics of it to.
Glad to see this thread come back up. I redid my photo bucket account so I will have to redo my pictures.

Would anybody be interested in some pictures of Colorado mining structures and the like? I confess I don't know how to post pictures yet, but maybe this would be a good incentive for me to learn how!!

StFCRR,
That would be great!
tstageStFCRR, That would be great! Tom
Here's goes nothing, Tom...it's just an old abandoned mine head left over from the old days, you gotta start somewhere!...if you'd like some of the mine tailings, I could send you some. I hope this picture thing actually works.
Hello StFCRR that's a good shot of that mine head. You can post photos of anything you think looks cool and from anywhere not just the U.S. There are folks from all over lets see what's around you. Here is the old Railway's of America building it's in Cuyahoga falls Ohio it was in MRR in August 1974 pg 28-32.
Hello gents, hope these might be of interest, especially maybe to you mine modellers...
I also hope this works!!
p.s. these are all pictures I took myself on little trips up to the mountains, if you have any requests let me know and I might be able to help
That little mine car reminds me of my HOn30 MinitrainS Bob C.
