It was bitterly cold and clear when Chris Guss, Brian Schmidt and I set out to photograph the former Chicago & North Western Adams Line\u2014the late-built \u2018Adams Cut-off’ that shortened the distance between Milwaukee and the Twin Cities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We drove back roads from Waukesha to Clyman Junction, the location of a surviving steam-era coaling tower. Then we explored various potential photo locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Train movements on the Adams Line can be infrequent, but patience paid off, and by mid-morning we caught an eastward train in nice light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The clean SD70M was an added bonus. I made both color slides and digital photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The slides remain latent, so here are some of the digital images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
