A Station In The Snow

 

The Autumn weather is getting colder, but not this cold yet.

Just a nice little train station, probably in America, but...y'now... no info on the slide.

However, that doesn't always stop me. I think this is Ridgefield Park station, in New York.

A Grand Day Out

 

From their clothing, these seem to be some experienced wanderers showing some Learners the ropes.

Today's lesson is at Potters Bar Train Station. Possibly mid-seventies.

Precious Moments

 

People take pictures to help them remember special moments.

With sides, the emotion is intensified, as it's an image that some wants to project, and share with others.

This precious moment, well someone wanted to share that special day when the 1004 Luton to Huddersfield (Calling at Watford, Rugby, Preston, Dundee and Madrid) very nearly left the station on-time.

Stoves and a Station

 

Slide - detail

35mm Slide - 1976?

Google - 2012

Now, this is the sort of slide that I like. A nice little slice of America, with no info. 

So, a chance to look around for clues, and work out where it is, and ...ideally, what it looks like now. (Thanks to Google Streetview.)

So the result is that this is Chester in Vermont.  And I reckon that it's around 1976.

Nothing much has changed.

Bonus - That station makes me think of The Station Agent...well worth a watch.

Bonus 2 - In 2013, Russian soldiers finally replaced foot wraps with socks
