Think finding a train is bad, just checked the Dyna challenge and they have to find a green bridge with no cars in the pic. Right!!

 

Here you go , one regulation type steam locomotive...
located in Riverfront Park, Sewickley, PA



..and better view of it...





Thanks to Ragnar's handy list, I managed to find this about 15 miles on the other side of Pittsburgh.
That's one of the things I like about this game, it takes me to places I might not otherwise travel to...

 

Rockin'! Sweet find!

So... what are we looking for next?

 

How's about in front of an amusement park... it'd be nice to see some of the rides in the photo - w/GOS

 

That makes 50.

So, is it worth it to maintain this list?
Is it useful at all, or am I wasting my time?

If y'all want to keep it going I will, but it's getting kinda long.
So I think I'll stop here at 50, and just start a new list with the next 50, with a link back to this first one...

 

The list is helpful, at least to me, 'cause it is 1) fun to see the challenges that have already been met, and 2) keeps it easy to avoid duplicates. I have a couple of fun ideas for challenges if I am ever able to pull one off. Just got beat on a couple of them already... No amusement park anywhere close. (WI Dells is a couple of hours away...)

A link to the original list and starting a new 51-100 list certainly serves the purpose just as well.

Thanks for going through the effort!

 

Appreciate the effort.

 

Hmm.... got a lead on a possible... private petting zoo with a couple of traveling fair type rides. I'm going to give it a shot... don't know if it'll qualify (or even if it's still there), but what the hell, right? Good excuse for a quick scoot.

 

Yup, still there.... and it's AWESOME! Guessing some farmer wanted to have something unique for his/her kids/grandkids and scored a defunct traveling carnival's rides or some such...

Ferris wheel, train (that goes and goes... all over his farm), flying pigs, tilt-a-whirl, roller coaster, flying swings, and some other random crap, plus a barn full of other stuff that we couldn't really see without having to have trespassed.

Does this count?

 

Is that private property, ie; for their use only?
That's one awesome grandpa.
Works for me just for being unique...
