Float Fishing in the Missouri Ozarks

An unused linen card from the Blair Cedar & Novelty Works in Missouri which is the world leader in the production of cedar products and is still in business! 

Not sure why, but this card makes me think of the movie Deliverance...is that Ned Beatty in the bowler?  :D

The Flying Yankee

The Flying Yankee was a diesel-powered streamliner built in 1935 for the Maine Central Railroad and the Boston and Maine Railroad by Budd Company and with mechanical and electrical equipment from Electro-Motive Corporation.

The eventual goal is to restore the train completely to running condition. The train was moved to Lincoln, New Hampshire, on August 10, 2005, to the Hobo Railroad where the mechanical restoration is taking place.  More info at:  http://www.flyingyankee.com/

The KPRK radio building in Livingston is on the National Register of Historic Places. To the right of the front door, a plaque says that Missoula architect William Fox designed the building, complete with the "stylized radio tower" above the front door, in 1946.

According to reports in the Livingston Enterprise, the station has stopped broadcasting from the historic building. All broadcasts are now fed from the Bozeman, MT offices.

The California Limited in Crozier Canyon - Arizona

A Detroit Publishing Company "Phostint" for the Fred Harvey hotel chain. 

The California Limited was the first Santa Fe train with Fred Harvey Company meal service. The later trains also offered air conditioning, a barber, beautician, steam-operated clothing press, even a shower-bath.

The California Limited was one of the named passenger trains of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. It ran between Chicago, Illinois and Los Angeles, California. Billed as the "Finest Train West of Chicago," it made its first run on November 27, 1892.

It was withdrawn on June 15, 1954, giving it the longest tenure of any train on the Chicago-Los Angeles run of the Santa Fe.
