In August 1984, I made a big solo trip on Amtrak. This began with an overnight journey on the Montrealer<\/em> to its namesake. I spent several hours visiting with the signalman at the east end of the station, while photographing trains coming and going.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made these views on Kodak Tri-X with a 1930s-era Leica 3A fitted with a truly antique collapsible 50mm Leitz Elmarite. I scanned the negatives in 2016 using an Epson Perfection V600 flatbed scanner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Montreal was only the first of several destinations on my big adventure. Back then you didn’t need a passport to travel to Canada and I thought nothing of wandering far and wide at the age of 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
