At 8pm on December 27, 1997, I exposed this view looking west at CP83 in Palmer, Massachusetts.
Mike Gardner and I were returning from one of our all day photo adventures in the Albany area and we decided to make a few more photos before heading home.
The signals lit and there was a green on the mainline, indicating a westward train was near.
This back in Conrail days, when the Boston & Albany route was still very busy with freight. It was years before the old Union Station was transformed into the Steaming Tender restaurant. And there were a few more buildings and businesses on Palmer’s main street.
It was more than a decade before I bought my first digital camera and I exposed this using my Nikon N90S on Provia 100F color slide film.
Tracking the Light Posts Daily!
That’s probably an effect of the light. It was late december.
Is it the lighting or are there green vegetation on the ballast?
Nice shot though!!
Stunning image, Brian. Great work!
Although when I proof the posting on my Apple I can see the photo file, I’ve re-inserted the photo at the top of the posting and altered the image size. Hopefully you’ll be able to see it now. I really don’t know why sometimes select viewers cannot load the picture files.
Sorry, but you picture does not load
