Hazy Damp Morning, July 1987.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a view from my summer wanderings with TSH in July 1987. We\u2019d camped along the Water Level Route at Lake City, Pennsylvania and spent the day watching and photographing trains.<\/p>\n

The morning weather began heavy and damp, but as the day continued a thunderstorm rolled off Lake Erie and cleared the air.<\/p>\n

\"Conrail\"<\/a>
Conrail SD50 6793 leads a westward train on the former New York Central at Lake City, Pennsylvania at 8:05am on July 25, 1987. I exposed this with a Rollei Model T, using T-Max 400 black & white film. F5.6 1\/125th of a second. Processed in Kodak D76 1:1. I calculated exposure with a Sekonic Studio Deluxe handheld photocell. The camera\u2019s Carl Zeiss Tessar allows for an exceptionally sharp image. I\u2019ve reduced the scan to just a fraction of its original size for internet display.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Conrail was busy and presented an unceasing parade of trains. For this view, showing a pair of SD50s, I used my father\u2019s Rollei Model T. I went low to emphasize the weedy grass, while using the old station to frame the train and provide historical context.<\/p>\n

The combination of the grass, the thick white sky, and hazy light says \u2018Summer\u2019 to me.<\/p>\n
