Re: (erielack) Steamtown Images--September 5, 2013 (C3261 thru C3265)
I'm wondering why so many pictures were taken around Ampere. The station
looks like the one that remained until the end. Were roadways lowered for
bridges to eliminate grade crossings here? Back in 1916 it looked like the
grade crossings were where the roads were in their best condition.
