@[email protected] Fantastic! Thanks for sharing that. I lived in Malvern in the UK for years and would often see the huge antennas at the Rugby Radio Station when travelling. Always amazed how large it was (~1,600 acres Wikipedia tells me now). Sad to learn now it was demolished in 2004, just a couple of years after I left the UK.
@[email protected] my late wife introduced me to that song in Australia and now I cannot get it out of my head whenever I'm going to/from SFO!
@[email protected] that's very nice! I like that the corrugations below what I guess are the windows of the carriages make it look like it's pulling the station along to the right in its wake.
@[email protected] thanks! I think I often go past that travelling between the airport and my partners place in northwest Philly. I remember seeing the power station but hadn't paid any attention to the bridge. Sounds like the arsenal that gave the bridge its name got bulldozed in the early 60s.
@[email protected] I've been looking at some of the Alert California cameras around LA (have friends in Northridge) and stumbled across a tower on one of the cameras on Topanga Peak which has a nice view of another one of those Long Lines stations. https://cameras.alertcalifornia.org/?pos=34.0959_-118.5425_12&%3Bid=Axis-TopangaPeak2
