Where In The World?

well i did actually help out, a couple of odd days here and there, on a long gone attempt to resurect and preserve an old 3 foot gauge logging railroad in northern callifornia. this was back in the 1960s and well into the 70s. it was called the camino cable and northern.

but hal wilmunder, the guy who was trying to do it, got too many of the local apple farmers upset with his abrasive personality. at least that's the way i heard it.
but for a number of years it ran on weekends, all mile and a quarter of it. they never let him put in the grade crossing to rebuild the remainder of the 10 or so miles of it.

had a couple of nice little steamers. a 2-6-0 and a shay, and a little diesel mechanical railcar that had been diamond and caldor's #10. there was a long and a short open car and frame that eventually became an enclosed coach, and a couple of short cabooses. and there was a larger 4-6-0 i think they were rebuilding. no idea where any of it ended up. probably some of it in the calfornia state railroad musium in sacramento.

but i like the two and a half footers, on down to foot and a half or so, better. i'm sure i'd love it where you live, and i'd probably join one of the preservation groups if they're not too expensive to.

 

My pic was of the Arena in Verona, Italy. It's still in use - every summer they have a season of operas there. I saw Verdi's 'Aida' there - not usually an opera fan, but that was very spectacular.

 

sorry i don't know that one. from the style my guess would be le corbusier. but that's only a completely wild guess. as to where, i have absolutely no idea. i don't even know his real name, i mean that has to be an assumed one. i know he did most of his work in france, probably lived in fance, probably was french, or belgine. and of course i'm probably wrong anyway.
