A Fair To Remember
Vintage Seattle’s Erecting The Needle is a photo essay featuring concept proposals for the Space Needle, its construction (1, 2, 3, 4), and a picture of the rarely-seen gas-flame beacon in action. More design sketches and images, from the University of Washington’s image database. In 2008, crews from Kärcher GmbH & Co. cleaned the Space Needle for the first time, and this morning, the Space Needle was briefly for sale!

Good Morning America, How Are You?
The last steam locomotive built for Union Pacific has a rich and dignified history. Delivered in 1944, No. 844 pulled the Overland Limited, the Los Angeles Limited, the Portland Rose, and the Challenger. After Union Pacific began using diesel locomotives to pull passenger trains, No. 844 was transferred in 1957 to freight service, and in 1960 she was retired for special service. Today, No. 844 travels the country as one of Union Pacific’s remaining “living legends”. Here’s her schedule and route.
If you’re in the Bay Area, No. 844 is on display today, from 8a to 6p at the Union Pacific yard. She pulls out of Oakland tomorrow morning at 9a sharp.
