It was a wet and foggy Saturday back in February of 2004 when I recorded this view of some trackwork machinery clearing the Canadian National mainline for an oncoming train. The location is milepost 859 at the Amtrak depot in Hammond, Louisiana. The signal indicates there is traffic ahead, likely a freight train as it isn’t time yet for Amtrak train #59, the City of New Orleans.

Well . . . I suppose so . . . I took the photo with my trusty Minolta A1 digital camera! 🙂

COOL,
And wet.
I agree of Minolta quality photos.
Have an old one, but had to stop taking too many pic’s here in OK.
Hope y’all had a Great tasting Holiday.
Boudreaux, I’ve owned several Minolta 35mm cameras and loved them! I bought their A1 digital camera when it hit the market many years ago, and liked it (still have it). I eventually bought a Canon digital simply because I wanted several different lenses (the Minolta A1 has a permanent “built-in” zoom lens). While I use the Canon for most things now, the Minolta still gets occasional use, and performs as good as ever.
