The web service Bing features a daily photograph of some interest with call out points leading to background on the photo. Today (August 8, 2012) featured a railroad trestle in a deeply wooded area. Following one of the call-on points lead to a slide show that identified what is now a hiking trail--the former Abington-West Jefferson branch of the Norfolk & Western, home to the "Virginia Creeper." Home page, image may be different by the time you see it: http://www.bing.com/ The called out links: http://www.bing.com/search?q=Virginia+C ... orm=hphot1 http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=Vir ... 7BC90D6119 http://www.bing.com/search?q=Damascus%2 ... orm=hphot3 http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=Blu ... ORM=hphot4 Oh, I can't say how much I wish the tracks were still there--and that the Strasburg's 475 and sister 433 on display at Abington could once again be ridden behind, be seen, and be heard climbing to White Top. . . |
