Newest DVD’s for 2013 Déjà-Vu All Over Again
YOGIBERRA, THE GREATNEWYORKYANKEES catcher and manager, is famous for the unique way he twisted popular sayings into his own “Yogi-isms.” While at first they seem redundant or contradictory, on deeper reflec- tion one realizes the stunningly straight for- ward way they express the true meaning of the thought. “We made too many wrong mis- takes.” “You can observe a lot just by watch- ing.” “The future ain’t what it used to be.” “When you come to a fork in the road, take it.” “Half the lies they tell about me aren’t true.” “It ain’t over till it’s over.” “It’s like déjà-vu all over again.” Déjà-vu: “A feeling of reliving or re-experi- encing something that happened in the past.” I think it is safe to say we all have ex- perienced at times that eerie feeling of hav- ing “been there” or “done that” before, maybe more than once or twice. And this theme is a good way to give some new purpose to your time trackside as well as add interest to a railfan slide or image show.
In the early 1980s during my years at the Arapahoe County jail beside the Burlington Northern/Denver & Rio Grande Western “Joint Line” tracks in downtown Littleton,
Colorado (note that I worked in the jail as a deputy, I was not in jail!), I had occasion to see many trains passing through town, and often spent some of my off days photograph- ing in this area.
But since the 1970s, the town’s concern
had been growing over the many long, slow moving trains passing through town block- ing the two grade crossings, potentially de- laying fire and ambulances responding to emergency calls. The solution was a mile long “depression” built between 1983 and 1987 to lower the rails under the crossings. The accompanying photo of a Burlington Northern northbound train was taken in 1982 before the depression project had start- ed (next page). The second photo is of a Union Pacific train in the same location, but taken 14 years later after the depression project was completed (page 15). Déjà-vu. My other activities here along with other photos of pre-railroad depression days spark memories of my time working in the jail as well as railfanning in the area (including some photos of trains taken from the roof of the jail with my Olympus XA pocket cam- era). It has been déjà-vu all over again each
