Steady cam visits the Evergreen club!

Did you ever sit through a video or film show taken by an amateur photographer and
fell seasick after you watched it? I know I have (Art Jacobson) as there was more
movement in the camera than there was what is being photographed!  That's all solved
with his steady cam handle that allows the hand to move but the camera stays with the
subject. It was amazing to see it work. Works with a Go-Pro or an iphone.
 
All aboard for Lewiston,Idaho! In the 1950s you could take the NP train to Lewiston from Spokane just about any day of the week. In the 50s they switched from steam engines to
Baldwin diesels such as #501 and 3 passenger cars.  They later switched to Rail Diesel cars that needed smaller crew and more economy.
 
The Milwaukee Road must have rail service to our local lumber mill located in the front of the layout
 
Big time railroading is Don Carnegie's goal with 4 modern diesels pulling a mainline freight thru the Post District.
 
No trains now run pass the Court District but I did last week to pay my real estate taxes to the government.
The massive tress surrounding the courthouse were in full autumn mode and worth a photo.
This building as well as the GN and Union stations were in serious trouble in 1972 but the courthouse was
saved then the officials found out the land would revert back to the original owners if it were torn down.
