On September 30, 1988, I was pacing westward Conrail freight OIBU-9 between Swain and Dalton, New York on the former Erie Railroad route from Hornell to Buffalo. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the window of my Dodge Dart, I used my Leica M2 to make this grab shot as I reached the head end of the train. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My notes from the day indicate my exposure was equivalent to f4 at 1\/250th of a second with Kodachrome 25; however I probably exposed this slide at f8 1\/60th of second to enhance the effect of motion. The train had three EMD locomotives (at least one Norfolk Southern behind the leader) followed by 141 cars. 8:36 AM on September 30, 1988. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For more than 30 years this Kodachrome slide sat in my file. I reviewed it the other day while searching for Conrail photos for an upcoming book tentatively titled ‘Conrail and its Predecessors.’<\/p>\n\n\n\n
