In the summer of 1980, my brother and I were traveling by train from Rye, New York to Hartford, Connecticut.

We were riding behind E60 957 in a Budd-built Amtrak Amfleet-1.

I made this view with my Leica 3A on Kodak Plus-X, as we came into the restrictive curve on approach to the station at Bridgeport.

The E60s are long gone, as is Kodak Plus-X. But, I have the old Leica on my shelf as a display-piece, and the Amfleet-1 cars are still rolling—yet replacements are on the way.
