On January 7, 1996, I was on a whirlwind winter ramble on the southside of Chicago with Mike Abalos and his friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 1:55pm, we stopped to photograph Grand Trunk Western symbol freight 391 that had stopped near 103rd Street awaiting permission to continue its journey toward Clearing Yard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Standing at the 103rd Street grade crossing, I made this telephoto view on Kodachrome using my Nikon F3T. A few minutes later GTW 391 resumed its westward journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week, I scanned this slide that had been stored in the original Kodak box along with two dozen other images from the same trip. This is part of my on-going organization and archiving of my slide collections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
