For anyone unfamiliar with 828 film, this was a roll film format similar in size to 35 mm but just a little bigger. Several very good cameras were made in this format, including my first serious camera, which I was given in 1970 when my parents first began to realize that I was serious about train pictures. Great optics, the real disadvantage was the roll film format which required several seconds to advance from one shot to the next. Also, only 8 frames per roll if I remember correctly. The world got a lot better in 1972 when I got my first 35 mm camera (a Konica rangefinder).

Surprising to see the westbound freight train on the main with the eastbound CZ in the siding. Perhaps the train was non clearing.
