A humble narrator is taking the week off from the usual folderol, and on offer are single shots captured sometime in the last year since relocating from ‘Home Sweet Hell’ back in NYC to Pittsburgh.

Pictured above is a Norfolk Southern Freight Train, moving along the south side of the Monongahela River, with the former Pittsburgh & Lake Erie RR station building in the background.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Kwazy Kwanzaa, and Happy New Year to you all. 2024 is going to be a real whopper, I think.

Back next week for a walk over the Birmingham Bridge, continuing the walk from Pittsburgh’s Downtown, to Uptown and beyond.

A humble narrator is taking the week off from the usual folderol, and on offer are single shots captured sometime in the last year since relocating from ‘Home Sweet Hell’ back in NYC to Pittsburgh.

Pictured above is the Fort Pitt Bridge, carrying Interstate 376 over the confluence of the three rivers – Allegheny, Monongahela, and Ohio.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Kwazy Kwanzaa, and Happy New Year to you all. 2024 is going to be a real whopper, I think.
