Trolley Car Seating (HBM)

Taken from inside one of the trolley cars they have at the Orange Empire Railway Museum in southern California. They have everything from interurban "red cars" to the various trolleys that worked Los Angeles (and other towns). You can see the front, side and doors of another trolley through the windows of this one. The left side of the window view is the front of a Los Angeles trolley, in the green and gold color scheme. To the right are the "automatic" doors of another trolley. The seating inside was pretty simple: a bench. Image processed with GIMP

Rock and Fence (PiP) (HFF)

06 Aug 2024 22 15 293
At the entrance to the local fairgrounds, they have a typical rock. I think that the fence is there to protect the rock, or protect the cars that might run into it. This native stone is used in many buildings in the Sioux Falls, South Dakota area. Not so many years ago, it was quarried and used regionally. The Picture-in-a-Picture shows a LOT more of these rocks at the Sioux Falls park. You see these boulders around, as the farmers who ploughed them up, decided they were too large to completely remove, so they shoved them over to the corner of their field. The plaque indicates the entrance to the fairgrounds. You can see the parking tram in the background, taking fair visitors to and from the parking area. Image processed with GIMP.
