I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.

1. DALLAS_140920_09.JPG: Route of the Silver Comet The Silver Comet Trail is built on an abandoned railroad right-of-way, once owned by Seaboard Airline Railroad and later by Seaboard Coast Line after the Seaboard / Atlantic Coast Line merger. The Silver Comet Trail is proudly named after the shiny, silver, passenger train which rumbled along this route from May of 1947 until April of 1969, carrying travelers between New York City and Birmingham, Alabama. Throughout most of its life, the train consisted of two or three coaches, a couch tavern car, a dining car and several sleeping cars. All seats in the coaches were reserved, there was a porter assigned to each coach and sleeping car, and a train passenger service representative and nurse-stewardess helped make the 23 hour trip from New York to Birmingham a luxurious travel experience of the era. The sleeping cars originally assigned to the Silver Comet were named after towns along its route, in fact, one car was named "Cedartown." Travelers were treated to hearty meals in the dining car and afterwards, could order drinks of their choice, all made on the spot by the bartender in the coach tavern car as they were whisked through the countryside at 60 miles per hour. By the mid sixties, the Silver Comet became an eclectic mix of passenger and mail, express and piggyback cars. The eastbound Comet left Atlanta at 7am, stopped briefly in Rockmart at 8:07, in Cedartown at 8:24, and arrived in Birmingham at 9:50am (Central Time). In 1967, a ride on the Comet from Atlanta to Birmingham cost $5.06. The Comet could turn and begin the trek back to New York at 1:35pm, stopping in Cedartown at 4:48, Rockmark at 5:05 and arrive in Atlanta at 6:02pm (Eastern Time). While the Silver Comet was a relatively fast train for its day, it could not compete against the private automobile, the jet plane, and more closely to home, the Southern Railway's "Southerer" and "Crescent," which also ran between New York City and Atlanta / Birmingham, but on a much shorter route. In April of 1969, passenger train service on this route between Birmingham and Atlanta was abandoned, including the Silver Comet. Later that year, the Silver Comet was also removed from service between Atlanta and New York, marking the end of luxury rail service to many smaller southern cities. Jet airliners were the new luxury way to travel and the Silver Comet train was no match for their speed. Many Georgians remember the excitement of boarding the sleek, silver train for a trip to the big city. The Silver Comet was the link to sophistication for many small southern towns over twenty years. The Silver Comet Trail uploads the tradition of the train by creating an exciting gathering place with links to nearby cities. Long live the memory of the Silver Comet!
