Working rail roads and their tracks.

Yep. This winter I hope to convert my google earth file into a PDF list of all the ones I've found and share it. I think there's a couple thousand. I only do the US and a small bit of Canada. Google earth used to have a time slider where you could go back as far as they had aerial pictures. So I'd follow abandoned rails along and see a curve or indications of an old rail yard and start going back in time. The tracks would come out of the weeds, then buildings, then that telltale wagon wheel foundation of a former roundhouse, and sometimes even the roundhouse itself. I haven't done it in many years. So something to clean up after I retire.

There's a transfer table behind that building. I like to document those as well.
