chooch_42Could this be a 19th Century Photo Shoppe ?
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".

Don't Ever Give Up
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----

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.
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.
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
Frank,
That's the one that's on SR 91, yes? I agree. I hope that they can preserve it.

Time...It marches on...without ever turning around to see if anyone is even keeping in step.
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

Is that at Cades Cove?
Below is the engine house for the J.Neils/St.Regis paper company locos at Libby MT. It has been moved from the original site to the grounds of the Heritage Museum.
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
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
Downtown Brussell ON
Old feedstore in Woodstock ON
Things are not always so neat and clean---
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.
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.

Thanks for reminding this little one---one thing that sometimes will 'spruce' up a scene are details---some I fell over recently
Above entrance is on a house---this house is/was not associated with any church or such but the entrance does kind of go with that
Landscaping around a house--this one full of Dahlias---
Wall of windows anyone??
Time to bring this thread back up on page 1. I took a trip with the New York Central System Historical Society (NYCSHS) to Bucyrus, OH back in May 2008. Below is the passenger platform and station for the Toledo & Ohio Central RR.
I'm particularly fond of Victorian houses and architecture. The inside upper windows on the first floor have stain-glass in them. All but one is original. (Boy! They just don't build 'em this way anymore, do they? )
They are renovating the entire station and work so far looks terrific. I will post a few interior photos later on tonight.
A couple of puzzlers---
there is a lot of corrugated panels around that one.
and then there was this restaurant
---which overhangs the Thames R in London ON
There is a studio of sorts
right beside a one lane only underpass

Today I was killing some time and poking around in my Train pictures files and came across a few that seem to fit this posting. They came off the Internet so I cannot give you the when, where or how of them. But, still fit well here.
The mine, sure looks like Walther's mine, does it not?
Bad side of the tracks.
The yard.
Hope you can get some ideas from them.

Hello this is the popcorn shop in Chagrin Falls Ohio. This building sits right next to a water fall. The first pic is the front.
This is the right side looking over the bridge.
This is the back from the bottom of the falls looking up.
and this is the inside when you walk in this the first thing you see.
Another view of the hoisthouses
A blue sign----remember these around cars/locomotives on tracks being dealt with please---
I've left my pictures in a sort of semi coherent chronological order---well--sort of---kind of---well---
Glencoe N. ON----capacity over one million bushels --- can load up to 25 carloads a pop----more in season
Semi modern/post modern VIA station/flag stop in Strathroy ON
The 2 hoisthouses at the Sifto Salt mines at Goderich harbour, Goderich ON.
A couple of building ideas that I came across in my files--
Rowhousing developed from old storefronts--Paris ON
In Cambridge ON--part of old millsite being converted into condo units--
Then we came across this house tucked in the valley wall---not far from old mill site
Wonder how many find space for buildings on their layouts by sticking buildings into valley walls---
These two structures are to the east side of the Sunkist building with the tin structure first the the cement and brick structure just north of the tuin building.

I have a few more if its OK.
This next set of structures are adjascent one another in Higland CA. The rails have been removed quite some time ago. The first structure is obveous but I am not sure of the tin nor the concrete and brick structure.
I will use two posts.
