Pic of the week game

[rphillips]

Me too rob, Murdoch was a close 2nd for me. that bike and those 6 pipes just always stand out.

Have you noticed the price of eggs lately?
I think a couple of us might be on to something...

 

[Rob S.]

Which came first, the egg or the tailpipe? :hand:

Lots of really great shots this week.but I am going with Steve Murdoch. A well framed shot suitable for framing. A pic that was so many's second choice does not deserve a goose egg.Trevor nailed the theme best and Rich's ;packing style warms my heart.

Trevor
Dpep
Excellent job guys!

And now, picking up FOUR VOTES AND THE WIN...... Drum roll please....
RICH82GS750TZ CONGRATULATIONS RICH !!!!

Rich, I'm curious what road you're going to send us down for next weeks Pic of the Week contest?

Any zeros? Yes about a half dozen.
With eggs being about $8.00 a dozen, we're all winners!

 

[Rich82GS750TZ]

Thanks all. Weird what people like. That was a last minute, Thursday hail-Mary post. A real throw-away shot taken only to document my idiocy, and to help me remember how I bungeed things together. Which would be helpful if it worked, maybe more helpful if it failed.
for the next theme, Tracks. Interpret however you like.

Boy this is a hard one for me....we actually don't have a single train on the entire island. This was several years ago going over the Cascades in Washington on out way to the GSR rally in John Day Or.

 

[Rich82GS750TZ]

I never said “train”

I never said “train”

Lol....right you are

One of my favorite race TRACKS to hang out at. Pittsburgh International Raceway in Wampum Pennsylvania.

Can see GK down there. (this is the entry).

and "down there" is here

Trestle is 420 ft x 35ft high. built in 1900. Hamilton Mich.

Being the exciting knowlodgable fellow that I am , I can say why it is that many rail road bridges have a second set of rails.
If you were to ask, you would then know I am really a boring ol' man.

 

[Eli69]

I assume that it's something to do with stability but there are also different sizes of track?

THe outter tracks are the normal guage the train runs on. The additional tracks on the inside are not really tracks, but are more like guard rails for if the train were to "derail" off the rail, the wheels will then be riding on the ground and ties, but the extra rail is to keep the train from going any further away, that is, to keep the train from going closer to the edge or from going over the edge.

I could show you more pictures of other bridges/trestles/hillsides that also have the addition rail(s). And I could tell you how I had been puzzled by these. ANd I could tell you about how and when I found the answer . . . . . but that would be too much like a "boring ol' man".

Looks like it stopped just in time.
