Some time back I posted a picture of my JSSX 813 on a Facebook group for a front End Friday post as I occasionally do. Someone commented on my photo that I had the fuel tank backwards on the engine. My reaction was quite an emphatic "What ?!!" to myself. But it was true. I had never noticed that I had done that. The fuel tank had been that for years.
Turning the fuel tank around was a quick and easy fix. So, I've set out now to try to correct some of the photos I've taken with the fuel tank placed improperly. Have a look at a few before and after pictures where I've set up engine 813 and backgrounds about as best I could to recreate the original pictures.
After. But with 813's lights switched on.
Before
After. But I didn't quite get the pole in the same location. And the white tanks in the background building have been replaced with a couple of silos.
Before
After. This one has the same s the same location and tank cars, but the industrial building in the background has been changed out for some time now.
That's enough before and after photos for now. Maybe I'll do some more another time.
I scanned this mid 90's photo of the former CSX ferry apron/ramp in Sarnia that I took way back then. Most of the rails are still there as far as I know. Some were lifted to prevent anything from accidentally rolling into the river. I don't know the name of the ship that was travelling up-river that day, but I can tell you that the coal-fired Detroit Edison plant on the left-hand side of the picture was imploded a few years ago.
The original picture doesn't look this dark. I tried to brighten things up after I scanned it, but nothing i did seemed to help the image.
