Satellite photos

Hi,

A recent issue of Model Railroader had the web sites for satellite photos.

The main Microsoft site is:
http://www.terraserver.microsoft.com/

Click on the map and follow the usual process

***************

If you want to see a quick result cut and paste the following URL into your
web browser. It results in the Brisbane suburbs with the Tennyson / Moolabin
freight yards and Brisbane fruit markets in top left area, Clapham standard
gauge yards [or where they were!]  east of that and follow the rails  south
east under the Ipswich Rd and Beaudesert Rd overpasses to locate the site of
the Comeng works at Rocklea. English Electric was nearby.   Salisbury
Station is just south of there.

The loop road in the bush area on eastern side of photo is Griffith
University.
Archerfield airport in bottom left.

Zoop in and out and move around in the usual manner.

Do the same for your favourite rail yards or airports etc

Enjoy!
