During a layover at Brattleboro, Vermont, I made a series of black &amp; white images of this train with my Leica 3A. It was raining and I got soaked. Later I made prints and sent some to then Trains editor David P. Morgan who published this one in the News section of the magazine. I was a senior in high school at the time and I was very excited to see my photo in print.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My other answers and illustrations can be viewed by going to the Trains site.
