| wim commented on 01.29.07 | | Why Rebecca? Because the trains did not stop? I like Robert's description :" railway garage", an unknown perception in Belgium |
|
|
| robert k commented on 01.29.07 | | i know the old Oakland railway station. it is a few blocks from where i live. see #14250. it is the building up in the right. i'm pretty sure this building was an old railway garage. now it is used as a dockside warehouse |

| Rebecca commented on 01.27.07 | | Isn't that the Oakland train station? I've been there once - it surprised me. |

| Sleepeasy commented on 01.19.07 | | SS, I beg to differ. As one of the FFFs you might have forgotten what it is like to be a mere triple D (double digit desperado). When you're still a hungry young gun, it's easier work the system than when you are a long-standing pillar of the establishment like you. |

| Smart Set commented on 01.18.07 | | I think it is now as close to impossible as makes no difference. |

|
| Sleepeasy commented on 01.18.07 | | That is some challenge, Dan. I think it should be possible. I might give it a go... I love this picture by the way. Arresting composition. |

| wim commented on 01.18.07 | | I find the number amazing : 3456, and the missing "STOP"-sign, only in words, so it never snows in oakland CA |

| DVD Dan commented on 01.18.07 | | Check out matt #1144 for the origin of the challenge that I've failed to meet in nearly four years. |

| robert k commented on 01.18.07 | | i like the idea dvd-d. thanks for the feednack ss. haven't found out what the building is yet. maybe old railroad station? Pacific Gas and Electric? something to do with the container docks? |

| DVD Dan commented on 01.17.07 | | I guess it is too late to try to match a SM submission with an engine number. Maybe Robert whats to take a stab at matching an address?? |

|
| Smart Set commented on 01.16.07 | | Many interesting things about this picture. The first is that giant Meccano horse striding across the landscape, the second is that Union Pacific train, cos I used to watch a B/W TV prog called UP when I was very young, third, the cool number of the train, and fourth, that striking building. What a pic! |
