Here\u2019s a photo from my lost archive.<\/p>\n

I\u2019d spent November 24, 1984 with some friends exploring railroads in the Albany area.<\/p>\n

Delaware & Hudson had recently been included in the Guilford network and its operations were being melded with Boston & Maine. At the time, D&H still had a lot of old Alco diesels.<\/p>\n

We had stopped by Mechanicville earlier in the day, and I made a selection of photos (that I\u2019ll post at a later date) then we drove via Schenectady to Rotterdam Junction to photograph Conrail.<\/p>\n

On the way back east, we made another visit to Mechanicville, when I exposed this twilight view. This is an evocative image that represents a symbolic twilight as well as a literal one.<\/p>\n

Exposed with a Leica 3A on Kodak Tri-X, processed in Kodak D76 1-1.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
