It seems appropriate to photograph vintage Alco diesels on Kodak Ektachrome. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last summer on our visit to Scranton, Pa., we found a Delaware -Lackawanna local freight working the former DL&W yard adjacent to the Steamtown complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A former Lehigh Valley Alco C-420 and a former Delaware & Hudson RS-3 made for a photogenic pair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Nikon F3 was fitted with an f2.0 35mm lens and loaded with E100. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interestingly, in the foreground of one of the photos is Maine Central 2-8-2 No. 519, the sister engine to 501, which is displayed at North Conway, N.H.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was just about four months from the time of exposure until I received these slides back from the processing lab. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
