Some photos age well.
I made this view of Conrail GP40-2s rolling east at Rochester, New York’s Amtrak station in November 1986—nearly 30 years ago.
At the time, Conrail was the order of the day, and the GP40-2s were common.
Although sharp and properly exposed, this view was marred by the shadow of the canopy and so at the time I disregarded it.
I’ve amended my opinion, however.
Now the whole scene has changed beyond recognition. Conrail is gone nearly 17 years and last year Amtrak demolished its old station in preparation for construction a new one.
Thanks! It’s funny how things improve over time.
That’s a fantastic shot Brian ! I love the shadow on the units … I can conjure up a ghostly image of Erie Lackawanna units bleeding thru that Conrail exterior!
I really like this shot! And I actually think the shadow of the canopy adds an interesting element to things.
