    I don't know about Google Earth, but In Google Maps there is a button that says "Link to this page" in the upper right of the screen. The pictures in GE and GM are the same, GE just has more features.

    THX :bear-laugh:

    I love this contest with Google Earth...

    ...and I love to look at places I've been (like Driftwood Point in Sumner, WA back in 87, but mostly places around Europe).

    About this fun contest:

    How does this image: "TB Geosleuth" come into my signature?

    I checked all the older ones and some were hard for folks who didn't knew an area... like me...:bear-smile:

    What are the criteria for places to be choosen for this contest, besides being related to the railroad? I could think of some places that might be a fun thing to search for. I would also love to see and read about places with a story behind the picture, or maybe some information why a place is special in one or another way. Maybe when a place is found, this could be told for all to enjoy. FX: the one about the Channel tunnel, where they have to put the lanes at one end in a way that it is easy to change from driving on the right to driving on the left side of the road. I'm not sure if they do this in Calais or Folkestone.

    just that according to Wikipedia Yul was born on July 11th 1920...

    had I gotten this connection earlier, I would have saved a lot of time searching....

    I was looking for naval bases all around the west coasts...
