I made this view on Kodachrome 64 with my Leica 3A and Summitar lens.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On May 29, 1985, I was visiting Montreal, having arrived that morning on the overnight VIA Rail train from Toronto. The signalman\/tower operator was friendly, and allowed me to spend several hours photographing trains from the tower.<\/p>\n

This was before VIA rationalized its schedules, and there was a constant parade of trains coming and going. Here, I\u2019ve used the tower door to frame an inbound LRC train.<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t think much of the modern LRC trains at the time. But I\u2019m glad I preserved them on film.<\/p>\n
