On August 21, 2010, CSX K644 rolls through Rochester, New York on the former New York Central mainline. Exposed digitally with a Canon EOS 7D.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This scene, exposed\u00a0less than five years ago is now completely changed:<\/p>\n

Amtrak is preparing for construction of its new Rochester Station.<\/p>\n

Last week, my friend Otto Vondrak sent current images from Rochester of the old New York Central era canopies being dismantled; the classic cast iron \u2018Rochester\u2019 sign having been removed for safekeeping.<\/p>\n

At the time I made this digital photo, I also exposed a single frame of Ektachrome slide film. It was my last roll of Ektachrome, and my last frame in the camera, and it seemed doubly apropos; to make my last Kodak\u00a0slide in Rochester, and of a pair of Iowa, Chicago & Eastern\/Dakota, Minnesota & eastern locomotives painted in colors remarkably similar to those use on the\u00a0old Ektachrome film\u00a0boxes.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m holding back that slide for future publication.<\/p>\n
