Gordon,

We are drifting from NW items but your Argus C3 pix stirs a follow-up. I
have lightened that shot and attach it plus a Street View from Oceanport
Ave. bridge that seems to be where you stood those many years ago. That
would be Little Silver, NJ and Parker's Creek which I remember as a grade
school kid being where my dad and Bob Carroll took us crabbing on a very
warm and humid afternoon. (Later, back home in Jersey City, those
crabs came out of the pot and where quite good.)

I'm attaching a picture of a PRR K4 powered commuter train outbound on the
NY&LB RR near the east entrance of Fort Monmouth, NJ.  The train is *The
Broker *out of Jersey City.  This was the 18th photo that I took with my
brand new Argus C3 camera ("The Brick" with no exposure meter) that I
bought at the PX there after saving what I could from my private's pay for
several months.
