Argust 22nd

Four diesels !!! What was the length of the train? An army tank across the line might register as a slight vibration With that sky and light everything looks powerful yet serene at the same time

Nothing wrong with your old Argus.. When I was a little kid we would visit my uncle and after dark he would put on a slide show. All shots were on Kodachrome, shot with a Argus C3. It was jaw-dropping, at least it was to me. I have much respect for that old black brick. I like your 2015 shot out of your album too. Makes even a Leica guy jealous. Nice work!

Was doing too many things at once to count, but this line handles some major traffic and trains of 70 or 80 cars are not unusual. On Argus Day 2020 whilst I was documenting a small station farther down this same line, a freight roared through with six locomotives on the front -- and two more ("DPUs" -- Distributed Power Units) in the middle of the train. Of course, the individual locomotives vary in size and power also, two of some recent models might be as powerful as three or four of some earlier models. Fun stuff!
