Last night, I continued my sort of slides from 1997 and 1998, two very productive years for me photographically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On August 26, 2022, I posted: “http:\/\/briansolomon.com\/trackingthelight\/2022\/08\/26\/something-random-and-familiar\/”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This described how Mike Gardner and I had chased a Vermont Rail System’s Florence Turn\u2014a local freight that ran from Rutland, Vermont to a quarry at its namesake. The significance of the post was the locomotive: Clarendon & Pittsford GP38 203. This was former Maine Central 255, and is now Conway Scenic Railroad 255.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last night, I found another never opened box of Fujichromes exposed of 203 on that same chase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d exposed the slides, then sent them out for processing, but boarded a flight for London Heathrow before they returned. One thing led to another and I didn’t get home until August 1998, and before I had time to look at the slides, I was off to Colorado and New Mexico for a month, and from there into yet another adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, almost 25 years after I exposed these photos, I’m finally looking at them! Pity, I can’t find my notes from the day. However, during the course of my job at North Conway, NH I walked past old 255 yesterday morning!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is yet another view of old Maine Central 255 that I located and scanned last night; this one exposed more than 40 years ago in October 1982 at Greenfield, Massachusetts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
