I was going to post them all as images, but I figured with the number, and the fact that they're not mine, I'd just link them.

WOWEE Josh, look at the track hanging over the sea, that must have been a severe storm or bad planning

Awsome pix! Too bad Chip (spacemouse) hasn't been coming around here lately, he's modeling turn-of-the-century era California railroads.
