In August 1985, on a drive through Holyoke, Massachusetts on my way from collecting film from Frantek (a local photographic supplier in South Hadley), I stopped at the old Boston & Maine station, where I photographed Boston & Maine SW1 1124 working the north-end of the yard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holyoke, Massachusetts in August 1985.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Holyoke was a fascinating post-industrial setting, where vast empty brick mill buildings told of time long gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The station hadn’t seen a passenger train in years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even the EMD SW1 was a relic of former times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These diminutive switchers, rated at just 600 hp, were known as ‘Pups’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I exposed this view using a Leica 3A fitted with a Canon f1.8 50mm lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
