Wordless Wednesday #407 - At the Northernmost End of the Valley Line

 

Wordless Wednesday #174

This is how the engines of the Valley Local got from the East Hartford roundhouse across the Connecticut river to the Hartford Yard to pick up cars for points south - taken today during my lunch time run.

Wordless Wednesday #170 - Hartford Skyline Backdrop

(Busiest time of the year for me at work right now, so everything else has gone to the far back burner - but I haven't missed a Wordless Wednesday yet and didn't want to this time either. And I even managed a few words!)

So, I found this image on the internets (see WW#168) - which would be an ideal start for the backdrop north of Wethersfield. It's even the right era. But it's B&W.

Fortunately, my friend Bob's friend Al is very talented at colorizing old photos and very generously reworked the image into something I think I can use (despite it's being a postcard - hope it doesn't pixelate too much when enlarged...)

Wordless Wednesday #160 - Modern Muscle

I came out of my parking garage at work recently and happened to see this . . .

Not quite "The Valley Line Today" - but Hartford, so not too far off. And certainly a far cry from the usual moguls and mikes that I usually deal with!
