Daily Commutes and Long Haul Freight

Previously one of my jobs was to develop simulation software for popular personal computers. While our main business was making flight simulation products, we were also involved with train simulation.

To do this, we spent a considerable amount of time researching railroad operations. Following are some of the photos that we captured to help us with various simulation projects.

 

Hopefully these pictures illustrate the extensive use of railroads across the globe.

Announcing Business Names

For want of a better description, I’ve titled this collection of photographs “Storefronts”.

Among these are pictures of small and giant signs alike, entrance ways, doorways, banners and more.

Remembering Restaurants

Recalling Eating Establishments

We’ve all gone to restaurants and enjoyed the great food and wonderful service. You might remember the city or locality and want to return at a later time but can’t remember its name.

Of course you don’t need to remember the name of most fast food places since they’re everywhere.

Anyway I have a partial solution to the memory problem. I take a picture of the place.

Below are a bunch of memory aids for a few of the restaurants that stand out to me for one reason or another. And the reason may not necessarily be a good one. Some places you may not want to frequent again.

Some places have funny names or interesting stories behind them. Keep these in mind as you enjoy your dining.
