Westbound RDG freight. Not sure of the year or photographer.

I often say that the ancient Romans probably had technology akin to computers, but we wouldn't recognize the products of that technology if we saw them. Some day someone will find a pile of old CD's in a cave somewhere and not have the foggiest notion what to do with it, apart from perhaps tossing one to his dog.

Paper isn't perfect either, though. I have boxes of old papers that have been attacked by paper-eating monsters of some sort.

Printed photos and film can degrade just the same. Digital has the advantage of effectively infinite non-destructive copying. The data can simply move from one computer to the next so long as there are computers. There is little reason why "format" would be a problem.

I don't consider any of those scenarios to be likely. Even in BSG, the colonial fleet still had modern technology (not necessarily on the Galactica). In theory, a few computers could contain a significant amount of human knowledge, much more than can be held using old forms of media, which actually makes computers more useful for preserving human knowledge in the event of a Cylon holocaust.

Amazing what people will post on FB that snobby sites like Railpictures probably passes over.

No kidding. I understand the desire for high quality, but give me a break. Get a bigger hard drive, for chrissakes.

Not sure of the year here. Westbound freight passing Elizabethport on the local tracks; obviously plenty of clearance at this high platform.

Don't know the year of this one, but it's pre-1956 since the semaphores are still there. Westbound RDG Crusader.
