Back on the Train
Scenic Railway, Coney Island [1908].
Via Shorpy.
Here again, folks. It's been one heck of a long, quiet ride over placid lakes of workaday redundancy since my last visit here almost a year and a half ago.
I've jumped ship from my most recent professional escapade - one that kept Cincinnati Revisited in hibernation - and it feels great to be back on the gut-shaking, knobby rails of "reality" again. The blood is finally flowing.

New attractions imminent here at Cincinnati Revisited. Thanks for reading.
