[PRCo] Re: Union Valley or?

[Mark McGuire]

Viewing a PRCo interurban photo:  Exhilarating.

Discussing certain photos on Derrick's e-mail list:  Interesting

Having Ed explain the view(s): Priceless!

Thanks Ed!

This picture is much farther down the hill than Jim's is.  Look at the track
in the distance.  Also look to the left...in Jim's photo the land falls off
beyond the grade, while in this photo there is a small cut.  The highway is
slightly below the grade in this image; in Jim's it is clearly above.  There
are signals visible in your photo and none in Jim's.

My IDs stand!

  Now this is mainly for Ed, but the rest of you can simply enjoy the photo.
Ed and I had a discussion about this photo awhile back. He told me it was a
northbound car(motorman may have forgotten to change the sign) near Union
Valley. Now I trust Ed's judgement about locations more than any of you. But
now that I saw Jim's post with 5 photos I am once again confused. Ed
identified Jim's photo #5 as looking outbound between McChain and McNary. If
you look at that photo and the one I have attached, they look like the same
exact location. In fact in my photo you can see a shelter off to the left.
If this is indeed between McChain and McNary, would that be the McNary
shelter? And what is the road off to the right in both photos. This road
seems to cross over the tracks at the shelter. Was there a McNary Rd?
  Not nitpicking at you Ed. I'm simply trying to get to the bottom of my
photo now that I saw Jim's. Whatever answer you give is as good as gold as
far as I'm concerned.
 Oh, and disregard the caption on my photo as I am unable to change it and
it is way off. I may have to relabel it somehow anyway.
