The image of a Euclid passing the old shaft housing at
Jeddo #7 8-86 and the desolation at the Huber with the struggling birches in
4-81. Now 30 years later, that area is an absolute forest. Reaching back to
the subject of "Iceberg 13", I found another box car used for stores at the
Blaschak breaker in 8-86.
I haven't done a chaper of my "Inch At A Time" series
on extreme layout detailing since #9 in November. I've got a few hundred more
pieces of "junk" made up and ready to add to the mining areas on the layout.
Once I get them in place I may do #10.
As for Chuck's book: When doing the layout and
captions he often described the pictures as "bottom of the birdcage", colorful
terms but, while I photographed many of the areas myself there were a lot of
earlier photographers that were out there trespassing too. There are quite a
few great images going back to the late 40's and 50's, many of the which I
consider priceless. Thanks for putting them in one place for us Chuck.
Hope you enjoy,
Wayne Sittner
