In December 1982, my father and I visited the former Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Hoboken Terminal on the Hudson River waterfront opposite Manhattan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I thought this ancient decaying relic of the Golden Age of American railways was just about the most fascinating place on the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rotten, yet grand, elusive, yet filled with intrigue. I exposed a series of Kodachrome slides using my 1930s era Leica 3A with Sumitar lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
