Re: [CBQ] Barriger Photos Photo IDs

Bill,
You are right. Image #356 is reversed. It is looking west. Behind the 
photographer is the overpass by my house. The tall silo structure to the 
right is a water stand (tower) for the city water in the north end of 
York. It was behind my grandparents house and was scraped in the late 
1950's. All steel riveted.
They cut it down in rings and sold them as stock tanks. I spent many a 
day at the York depot on the platform watching activity. Mr. Paul Bolton 
was a special friend. He was an engineer on the local passenger and 
loved his steam. He had a very interesting life story. I will post it 
some time.
Noel
