why was Stalin tagged for this pic?

The most beautiful structure ever built in the history of civilization.

This is a wonderful book on the building of the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge

Great Northern train on trestle for Martin Creek Bridge near Index, WA, 1926. Check out the snow shed in the back ground.

Not that old, but Swaye's Montana train thing made me think of the 1989 Helena train explosion. Crazy story.

With sigs enabled it’s funny to see these random modern gifs being mixed in with historical B&W photographs.

The TUFF loggers lived in N. Idaho (still do).

As a wee lad can remember dodging the tug boats pulling log booms down from the St. Joe River, across Lake CDA and down the Spokane River for milling. Water skiing was for the brave as stray logs broken away from the boom was common place. Hitting one of those put a damper on a good slalom run.

Mid-80s, took a gal from Hayden to a movie and driving thru CDA, the sawmill was ablaze. Pretty spectacular fire. Sadly, no handy at the movie that night. CSB

Girls who wouldn't give a handy after a date were the worst. If I didn't go home with serious chaffing, they never got a call back.
