It is stunning isn't it Mr.Lybarger!  I noted the uniformity and
freshness but not the company aspect.  It reminds me of that
song from decades ago:

There are houses on the hillside
they are all made of ticky-tacky.
They are all made of ticky-tacky
and they all look just the same.

I believe we are looking inbound on the 87-line trestle as we knew
it; the curve at 'Trafford jct' is correct isn't it.

Do you know the date Mr.Brashear?  It appears the trestle is
'paved' doesn't it.  It appears as a trolley only trestle in
construction.  While it is often mentioned that such were
eventually paved for other traffic, maybe this was a
requirement of original building.  The rwy. used the least
expensive pavement of wood planks.  Does this sound
logical Mr.Lybarger?

Imagine the pride of lving in such a beautiful location; such may
have motivated employee devotion and productivity.

It must be Monday; look at all the was on the lines.
