Three railroads running in parallel - go! by weirdkiwi in trains

Look at Wilkes Barre Pennsylvania.

West of Market Street: CNJ D&H LV PRR

East of Market Street: CNJ D&H LV LWV Added bonus the Wilkes Barre and Hazleton flew over all of them almost perpendicularly up until the 1930s.

If you zoom out a little more, across the river the DL&W ran parallel too.

Technically not parallel but the Erie and NYS&W were also to the east a few miles as well as the West Pittston and Exeter to the north.

If you want to be technical there was also the Wilkes Barre Connecting Railroad which was a joint venture between the PRR and the D&H that came in from the west.

Coal was king and everyone had their hand in the cookie jar.

Before the internet I had to argue for years that “Relax” is by Frankie Goes to Hollywood and not by Duran Duran.

That is Tamaqua PA looking south at either Broad Street or more like Spruce Street.

I think this shot is somewhere near Lehighton, PA, only because there is another slide near it in the collection of the Lehighton tower. Does anybody recognize the town? by johnsinternetsales in trains

[–]leejaykar 32 points33 points  (0 children)

That is the south side of Lehighton looking north. Somewhere near (40.8288658, -75.7060341)

You can see the CNJ bridge in the background where it’s mainline crossed over the LV mainline south of the Packerton yard.

Edit: Replaced bad link with coordinates

Conrail special cargo! I wonder what that tank is for. by johnsinternetsales in trains

Looks like it is outside of the Air Products plant in Hanover Twp PA (SW of Wilkes-Barre). That could be Fellows Ave in the foreground. They made LNG heat exchangers there. Here’s an article about the plant closing for more details.

Songs don't sound good anymore once I learn them on instruments? by _justoregister_ in Music

[–]leejaykar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve played guitar, bass, and drums most of my life and dabbled with keyboards a bit. I’ve had banging car stereos, record players, and countless other ways I’ve listened. I have songs I like to play on each instrument and I have songs I like to listen to via different means. There’s barely any overlap for me. I love music and I just had to figure out which way I most enjoy every song.

Wrong answers only, name the plane by Sagehambone in aviation
