Ball Signal at the East End of Columbus ?

[NW Mailing List]

Yes. For a short time after the N&W photos were posted for or five years ago, the administrators were flipping some if someone stated that it needed to be done. They flipped two or three Columbus District photos (one Circleville and several Columbus grade separation shots). Its surprising how mind bending a mirrored image is!

I viewed the website - it appears a good number of the N&W shots were inadvertently scanned backwards….loco numbers, and stenciling of N&W on freight cars are a giveaway.  Photos are great anyway - it’s hard to stop once you start viewing!

That institution scanned his negatives and put them up on Flickr [sic,] an image-hositing website.  A few of his images from the 1920s carry identifications, the rest only carry a number penned on the negative... and from there on, it is guessing-game time.  Most of his negatives are just ordinary; a few are top-shelf material; a few are **worse than terrible,** as the old timers used to say.
