(I have seen Jay driving around on a number of occasions).<br /><br />K. Martinez, I was going to answer “yes” to your question, but Steve DeGaetano beat me to it.<br /><br />Steve, I had the feeling you would like these. Thanks for pointing out the whitewalls… when did those go away? I thought that both photos had been taken from the same place - except that the photographer had pivoted to the right. Guess that’s not the case?Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-29030699997550707732015-02-16T08:33:11.396-08:002015-02-16T08:33:11.396-08:00These are really wonderful pictures!

Notice the whitewall tires on all the wheels--even the tender wheels!<br /><br />The second shot was taken from an observation platform right next to where the locomotives would stop. It as a great place to sit and watch the trains come and go, take water or blow down. You could even talk to the engineers. This spot was unfortunately eliminated when the HM FastPass area was created.Steve DeGaetanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04947550539650692495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-42030972155250862432015-02-16T05:52:34.415-08:002015-02-16T05:52:34.415-08:00That is the Pirates show building, before the New ...That is the Pirates show building, before the New Orleans facades were put in place.Steve DeGaetanohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04947550539650692495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25922463.post-11098368761435467132015-02-16T00:20:03.580-08:002015-02-16T00:20:03.580-08:00So is that the Pirates of the Caribbean show build...So is that the Pirates of the Caribbean show building a short distance behind the Ernest S.

Now - don't try to tell me that doesn't qualify for "looker" status-!<br /><br />Thanks, Major.Nanookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07255357829181568172noreply@blogger.com
