OK, Marc -
Whoever did the weathering on that loco is much worse at it than I am!
It looks very "over-done" with all that bright rust, vegetation, etc.   :-)

Where is that tank loco? It's sad to see it just rotting away like that.

Here's one for Chuck and Craig... another Shorpy find, a Penn Oil station in Washington, DC  ca. 1920. I really like the minimalism of this station... can't get any more basic. You can just make out an attendant standing inside the door. The lamps are bare bulbs, no shades, lots of good details for a small structure. Judging from the encroaching development, I'd speculate this shot was taken close to the end of this structure's life.

Paul,   Cool photo thanks for posting.   Looks like they used a SIGN that's hinged for the window....and someone ran into the gas pump  no globe on top of the pump....just one big BULB....oil sign above the door....looks like a sign leaning against the building...wonder what it says? Penn Oil.  Very low budget operation at this site.  Pipe sticking out of the ground buy building? used for filling tank? or was there another gas pump there at on time and a Drunk driver knocked it over. Got me looking up what kind of gas pump that is   I think its a BOWSER [Chief Centry] Curb gas pump 1911.      Craig

The Diarrhea drug store? (That's what the sign seem sto say!)
