Miscellaneous Photos, also of a Bygone Era


Here are some (of the many) photos I took in the years between 1980 and 1983, while a high school student. Unfortunately, I do not have specific dates for any of these photos, and can only guess. If you have any information that would be of interest concerning these photos, please,

As the name says, I took this photo in Toronto. It is a view of the roundhouse and turntable that used to reside under the CN Tower, taken from the tower. Unfortunately, the last time I visited the city, it was all gone without a sign or trace of what once existed there. Hard to believe, looking at the photo... I'm guessing this photo was shot in the summer of 1979.
Chessie-P&LE Turntable, W. Pittsburgh
Chessie-P&LE Turntable, W. Pittsburgh

This turntable stood in the Chessie yard at West Pittsburgh, just outside of New Castle, PA. Most likely shot in the winter of '80 or '81.
P&LE BeaverFalls

This shot looks toward the P&LE station in Beaver Falls, PA, looking downriver. It is shot from behind the Geneva College campus. The turntable and round house would have been to the right side in the distance. These last two photos are rather dark. This can be attributed to the foul weather, as well as the fact that I was using a 3x teleconverter. Sorry for the poor quality.

And for your viewing pleasure, the same photo as above, but with some slight modifications...
P&LE College Bend
P&LE College Bend

This photo was taken from about the same location as the previous one, but looking the other direction. The train surprised me coming around the bend, and I barely got this shot off. these two photos were shot my freshman year at Geneva College, in the fall of 1983.
