Jon Searles' photos with the keyword: N.Y.

There isn't anything important about this photo, also from the video camera. Notice that an Extra Value Meal is listed at $579. Weak dollar.... :-) :-) :-)

This was my first train photo in the U.S. in a long time. I took this in Fonda, NY, because I noticed that the gates at the Broadway crossing were activated and walked over to see if I could get something. I took video initially, and this is a still capture that my Panasonic can do. This was a work train, sitting in the siding, and the crossing gates kept going on a off, which I'm hoping CSX dealt with eventually. The locomotive is an EMD SD50-2, which is a rebuilt SD50 downgraded to 3,000 horsepower (from the stock 3,500). CSX primarily uses these on MOW (work) trains at the moment.

This is the other projector. I don't know if it was one of the two originals, but it seems likely.

I took this in the Strand Theater, which is really a cinema, in Old Forge New York. This is one of two 1930's Simplex projectors in their collection, but this one was actually installed in the cinema in-period, in 1934. They claim to have had two, but I don't actually know if the other one was theirs in the old days. They would not have been the originals, though, as the cinema dates to 1923, according to the website. A new Simplex projector was supposedly acquired in 1993 to replace the two old ones.

Here's a detail of the second projector.
