Activity in Como - 10/10/2026

[Todd Hackett]

There was a late season work session when I stopped by yesterday. There was a lot going on, including work on the locomotive and preparing the site for winter. I took some 360-degree photos, which are the first eight on this page (the rest are from last year at CRM and other places)

I've wanted to duplicate this shot for a long time, but couldn't get a high-enough vantage point. I was able to get high enough this time using my 360 camera on a 3-meter stick.


This is what I got:


This is a quick attempt to blend some old and new - I'll take to time to do a better version once I get home:

[Jeff Young]

Great stuff, Todd!

[Tim Schreiner]

Excellent job!!!

[Keith Hayes]

Todd, what was the photog standing on that they were a full 10 feet above current grade? I don't recall track down there. We're they on a tenement roof?

[Todd Hackett]

Yes. The photo was taken from the tenement house location, so Mellen must have been on the roof.
