On our recent visit to New England, Kris and I collected another batch of my older photographs from my parents attic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among these were a box labeled, ‘Maine Central-Seconds’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not to brag, but these were of the Maine Central before<\/em> Guilford. Most of the images were of marginal quality, but of great interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I exposed these three Kodachrome 64 slides on the Rockland Branch at Bath, Maine on June 1980 trip to visit my grandparents. Traffic on Route 1 was pretty bad, so we got off the road for a little while to relax.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time, I was using a 1937-8 vintage Leica 3A 35mm rangefinder. Based on the angle of view, I guess I was working with a Nikkor 35mm lens, which was one of my favorites at the time. It was a very sharp piece of glass. To gauge my exposure I had a handheld Weston Master III light meter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
