Some more stuff taken some years ago.

These shots are taken with the Leicaflex SL and Kodachrome 64.

 

I hope you all enjoy these images as I do.

 

Having so many slides it would be impossibe for me to exhibit all on this forum, spanning over 40 years

in my Railway career, I loved driving and still do however these Locomotives are gone only but for the memories.

 

Thank you Leica and may slide film live forever.

Ken,

 

An excellent series of the trains of the past. I wish I had photographed all the railroad scenes I was around during the many years my Dad worked on the railroad as a track maintenance supervisor. I had the experience of riding in the cab of a steam locomotive one day when I was a little squirt.

Thank you Paul,

I suppose your Dad would have loved these machines going everywhere recording track discrepancy, I have

a lot respect for those men working in all weather conditions to keep the track in good order.

This is one machine I have never driven, this shot was taken back in the 80's.

 

R4 and the 35-70mm 3.5 Vario Elmar with Kodachrome 64.

EMD, Alcoa. What more can a guy want? ;)

 

Not much Berth.

 

The men at Electro Motive (EMD) knew what they where doing, a true American Classic.

It was always a privilege to be in command of these Fabulous Engines.

There are still a few ( around 5) working in freight service in Australia, testimany to their designers and builders.

Long may they live.

 

Ken.
