Mike Ondecker Photos - 2nd Set
Author: refarkas

Here are three more photos from my late friend Mike Ondecker. Photo one was taken with his aunt's 120 roll film camera, and two and three were taken with an Instamatic.
Image one: B&O 9131 (ALCO S-2) switches a B&O baggage car or mail car in front of the EL passenger station in Akron, Ohio in the summer of 1968.
Image two: EL 7354 (ALCO FA-1) was taken at an unknown location at an unknown pre-1968 time.
Image three: EL 858 (ALCO PA-1) was taken at an unknown location at an unknown pre-1968 time.

Interesting and like them all.  Especiall like photo one.
Unusual place above headlight for an mu receptacle on the FA and PA; definitely not an esthetically pleasing location.

BO9131 sure looks to be well cared for at such a late date.

All 3 photos are great!

He certainly wasn't using Tri-X in photo 1.
