In the course of a ten-day Amtrak trip, I spent twenty-four hours at Cumberland, Maryland, where I made a variety of photos of Chessie System\u2019s Baltimore & Ohio.<\/p>\n

I found many railroaders on the B&O to be cordial and helpful. A man in this\u00a0trackside office near the west-end of the sprawling Cumberland Yard invited me to make a\u00a0photograph from his window.<\/p>\n

\"Cumberland,<\/a>
Cumberland, Maryland as seen from a yard-side office in May 1985. I remember making the photograph, but I can’t recall what function the office served. I was there only once. I also recall that it was very warm and humid for May and I was happy to get out of the sun. There appears to be a thermometer in the window which reads about 85 F. \u00a0Exposed with a Rollei Model T on Kodak B&W film, scanned with an Epson V600 scanner.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I exposed the image on Kodak black & white film using my dad\u2019s Rolleiflex Model T that I\u2019d borrowed for the duration of the trip. I also made a few color slides that day. I’ve always liked the framing of the B&O locomotive.<\/p>\n
