Penn Central dreams seen at Hackensack New Jersey.
One of my earliest digital attempts at model rail photography.
I like the way it is grainy like an impressionistic painting.
It reminds me of my first railfan trip to Hackensack New Jersey.
Was on a cold damp rainy November day back in 1975.
A day that cemented my love of all good things on rails.
The irony of getting a great shot is that one can take scores of plain looking pictures.
And the one that pops is typically accidental at least for me.
Back in 1975 shooting rolls of film was pretty pricey for a 15 year old kid with a camera.
Now I can shoot thousands of frames and it does not cost a dime.

This is what I found. Tank cars ready for pickup in El Paso Texas and cool temperatures as well.
A bonus is this beautiful Penn Central geep in my neck of the woods. Woo hoo.
