Artist's Comments

I did not take this photo. I couldn't have, since I'm in it.

My Dad took this one on October 9, 1976 in Kilsyth, Tennessee. That's me in the red shirt waving to the engineer, just 10 days after my 7th birthday. That's my Mom standing beside me.

For the railfans among my watchers, that's five ALCo C420s leading an empty unit coal train back to the coal mines of Eastern Kentucky.

Reproduced 35mm Slide

EDIT - Many thanks to Chris :iconclassictrains: for the extra post-processing work on this one. He really brought it out nicely (just going to show that I really, really need better software...).

That's cool you have these memories captured on film. The ALCo's are a bonus.

I love this photo & was laughing at the sheer joy of being a child waving & the trains...didn't realize it was YOUR actual memory recorded by your dad that you were sharing until I read the comment.
