It was 30 years ago today that I exposed this Kodachrome 25 slide at the east-end of Buffalo’s Frontier Yard.
In this view, there are two westward freights on the former New York Central Water Level Route.
I was fond of Conrail’s six-motor General Electric diesels, and C36-7 6620 caught my eye.
My notes from the day have gone missing, which is unusual and annoying, because I’ve generally made a habit of keeping detailed note from each trip over the years.
However, I recall that I was traveling with Doug Eisele and Pete Swanson and that we made a tour of Buffalo area freight operations. I exposed this view using my Leica M2 with a 90mm Elmarit.
The day began bright and clear, but by midday clouds had rolled in from Lake Erie.
Tracking the Light Posts Every Day, sometime twice!
Hello Mike,
I use several different scanners. For the Frontier yard photo, I worked with an older model Nikon Coolscan 5000 using Vue Scan software. Scanning is more of an art than a science. I’ve composed several Tracking the Light posts on my adventures in scanning.

Hi Brian. Nice work! May I ask… what slide scanner do you use? I have a need of one since I have a closet full of slides that I want to digitize. Thanks!
