Pictures from the clock tower.

[M Kerkvliet]

I was on the clock tower with my brother Tim this last Saturday morning to install one of the antennas for the new radio system WMSTR will have in place in a few weeks. It was a nice day for pictures, so I thought I would bring my camera up there for some more shots. Most folks will never see the show grounds from this perspective. I hope I don't have to, too much more!

This first shot is of Asher, and Ken and Carole Ronsberg on the RR motor car, doing some track work. I took this picture with no zoom, so you can see just how small they are from 100' up!

Here is a shot of Earls Sawmill, the Baker Depot, and the Assumption Building.

... and one of the service building. Note the new "sunroof" on the Rumely :(

And 3 more...

Here is one of the TMB and surrounding area.

And one across the grounds looking north... The Elmer Larson Building.

And last, but certainly not least... One of little brother Tim, tied on and posing with the new antenna in the background! You can also see part of the siren in the lower right corner. The Larson Building and the Ellingson Round House are in the background.

Safety is always first on the grounds... even when your where no one can see you! It is a LONG way down!

Thanks for your help Tim!
