Thirty-five years ago, I made this view of a Conrail coal train working the Charlotte Running track at Charlotte, Rochester, New York. At that time, a short vestige of the old Hojack Line (Rome, Watertown & Ogdensburg) still crossed the Genesee River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was exposed on Kodachrome 25 slide film using my Leica M2 rangefinder fitted with a 50mm Leitz Summicron lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was among the images featured in my 1989 article on the railroads of Rochester published in Railpace Newsmagazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking at Google Earth last night, I gather there’s very little left of this scene today!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
