For me the AEM-7s will always be \u2018meatballs\u2019. This name is twice-removed metaphorical allusion. The AEM-7 was derived from the Swedish class Rc electric. The allusion to meatballs is a reference to \u2018Swedish meatballs\u2019 and thus shortened to just meatballs, with Sweden being implied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On December 27, 1986, my old pal TSH and I paid a visit to Bridgeport, Connecticut on a tour of former New Haven Railroad properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made this photograph using my father\u2019s Rollieflex Model T with 645 \u2018super slide\u2019 insert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my mind the composition made perfect use of the rectangular window. I wonder what I would have come up with if I\u2019d exposed the view as a square?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my notes, I have a photographic log sheet with details from our December 27, 1986. This should include time, film-type and exposure information, as well as the train number\/name. Unfortunately my notes are nearly 3,800 miles away!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the days after exposing this photograph I made a large print, 11×14 or 16×20 in size, which has sadly vanished. Perhaps, someday I\u2019ll make another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
