In a posting on Railroad Laramie I posted five photos from the Denver Public Library, Z-3592, Z-3593, Z-3594, Z-3595 and Z-3596. These five photos were originally parts of a panoramic photo that was torn into five sections to make five photos. lwilton combined these five photo back into a panoramic photo. In an attempt to see the panorama as a larger picture I posted the panorama on Shorpey. When Trainorders members tried to go to the web address they got the message access denied. I wrote to Shorpy. Yesterday I got a reply.

“We review each photo before making it public. This process can take over a week. Your image is now available here:

http://www.shorpy.com/node/10854 .”

Shorpy changed the name to Utah Junction. Click on the above Shorpy web address. When you get to the new page scroll down a little and click on View full size. On the new page scroll down to the bottom of the page and then scroll to the right to see the full larger picture.

If the above does not work then try to click on the Shorpy website below and do a search for Utah Junction.
