Thirty-five years ago today, March 23, 1988, at 8:16am, I exposed this Kodachrome 25 slide of Conrail’s TV-300 roaring east on the former Erie Railroad mainline east of Adrian, New York in the Canisteo River Valley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was perched upside a hill with my Leica M2 fitted to a Visoflex with Leitz 200mm Telyt lens mounted on a tripod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d driven down in the early morning from my apartment in Scottsville, New York, having scoped out this spot several weeks before. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
