In July 1983, I was on an early solo adventure by automobile, and was driving my family’s gray 1978 Ford Grenada. On the advice of my friend Bob Buck, I called into Bangor & Aroostook’s yard and shop at Northern Maine Junction, where the railroad was happy to give me permission to wander around and make photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had several cameras with me, including my venerable Leica IIIa with 50mm, that I’d loaded with Kodak 5063\u2014Tri-X (ASA 400).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made a variety of studies of the locomotives and equipment, including this unusual angle of an EMD BL2, F3A and GP38. Rarely have I seen images that clearly focus on the back-end of a BL2 and I’m glad I used the light that day to make this view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
