Hobos, bums and tramps

c. 1905

Another great vintage RR shot found on Shorpy’s Blog. I recommend a browse of their site, lots of old photo’s of exceptional quality.  Looks like whoever installed the grab irons didn’t have one of those nifty drilling jigs….

Stringing wire

My nephew Hair, I mean Chris

Most of the wire strung in the building (and there is a lot of it) was pulled by Chris over the last couple of weekends. Here he is taking a moment to admire the drill.

Bayview (again)

looking the other way….

Taken the same day as this one. Bayview Junction in Hamilton, or is it Burlington, or Aldershot, or whatever they are calling it now. This is looking the other direction from where 99% of the pictures of this place are taken. Again, no train….
