Like me, you mustv had been using cheap slide film in the 1970s. This needs color correction to get the brown out.

It does have an aged look but what's the chances of seeing something like this? It is worth the editor's pick.

Very nice photo, Rob! The smokin GE would be plenty, but I also like the signal

You can tell GE was partners with ALCo at one time. Great big blue catch.

Great Shot! It's really interesting to see what this Conrail route looked like at Effingham shortly after the creation of Conrail.
