This is an incredible black and white aerial photo of what they called the “Balloon Track Site” in Eureka, California. It was taken in 1952 by Merle Shuster when this facility was a fully operational railroad switching, maintenance and freight yard. This photo was part of a study conducted in 2001 showing evidence that the parcel was at one time a tidal marsh. It is now considered an urban brownfield and part of an environmental restoration project. The clarity and visibility of this “old” photo is amazing and I love black and white.Link to website source:
