One more Then vs Now on the SPng
| March 01, 2009 06:08PM |
This is a companion photo of the triple headed freight climbing out of Tonopah Jct. in 1936 (p.72 SPng by Ferrell). The photo is incorrectly labeled in Ferrell on p. 86 as "nearing summit of Montgomery Pass", when in actuality the photographer only moved a short distance from the previous photo. The location is about 5 miles west of Tonopah Jct.
The "Now" photo was taken on June 18, 2006. This is the last set of "Then and Now" images I will post until after our next foray into C&C country in June...
