Last week’s contest was won by YLB. The view was of Bridgeville, PA. Here’s this week’s, good luck!
Can’t Bring Yourself to Type the Word “Ass”?

Damn, that was quick
Here’s the link.
Damn! Can’t link it.
That’s some quick searching!

Wow, Milwhcky, that was fast! Maybe the most impressive win so far at HA. I thought this one would take at least an hour.
I simply looked on the map view for orange colored sections of US-50 with a railroad crossing. I picked a random spot in WV and worked my way west.
There’s a website called “Tin Eye” that’s supposed to be able to reverse-trace a photo, although I can’t get it to work because I can’t figure out how to upload the photo.
I’ve assumed all along that the people who win these contests are using software aids because I don’t see how anyone could identify these photos so quickly without technological gimmicks.

Nice Neighborhood! What is it, early American junk yard?

No, Milwhcky’s just very good at this. If the technology exists to locate the picture that way, I don’t think anyone’s used it.
The key was knowing that while U.S. 50 goes across the country, it’s only a divided highway for part of it (which is shown differently on maps). Then you just have to find a train track that crosses it. Even then, Milwhcky was damn fast.

Nope, here’s a junkyard nearby (also in the KC suburbs).
Looks like stillbentover can get his set of wheels from that place.
