Then, as now, east Deerfield was a favorite place to make photos and begin a trip to somewhere else.<\/p>\n

To make the most of the long days of summer, I had an early start. At 6:19 am, I made this photo of eastward DHED led by a pair of former Norfolk Southern SD45 and an old Santa Fe SD26. For me the fog made the scene more interesting; it adds depth while providing\u00a0a painterly\u00a0chiaroscuro effect.<\/p>\n

There’s something tragic, yet intriguing about the state of the line. The ghostly effect of the old double track signal bridge-sans signal heads and the weedy tracks tells of empire in decay. The railroad that forges forward in its own shadow.<\/p>\n

You can imagine the low roar of the 20-645E3 diesels amplified and modulated by the morning mist. Perhaps I should have been making audio recordings . . .<\/p>\n

Using my dad\u2019s Leica M3, I exposed this view on Kodak Plus-X. My exposure was between f4.5 and f5.6 at 1\/60th of second.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Since DHED had arrived at its eastward terminal, I opted to head west. My next photograph was at Schenectady, New York on the Delaware & Hudson some hours later. Fast forward more than 25 years<\/p>\n
