\"Exposed<\/a>
Exposed on Kodachrome 64 slide film with a Leica 3A fitted with 200mm Telyt lens via a Visoflex attachment and mounted on a Linhof tripod. Metered manually with a Sekonic Studio Deluxe hand held photocell.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On this hot and humid evening, fellow photographer Bob Karambelas and I were poised to catch the parade of rush hour trains that raced the former Pennsylvania Railroad at Linden, New Jersey.<\/p>\n

Here six main tracks and high voltage overhead make for an impressive right of way.<\/p>\n

At that time, the New York-Philadelphia Clockers<\/i> were still run with heritage fleet cars, while the AEM7 in the lead was only a few years old.<\/p>\n

Today, the AEM7 fleet still work for Amtrak, but will soon be running their final miles for the national passenger carrier as their replacements come on-line.<\/p>\n

For more than 25 years this slide sat unattended in my files. For so many years, it just didn\u2019t seem noteworthy. I see it now with fresh eyes.<\/p>\n
