Nostalgia & History > Making Like a Zephyr

This is the first Rick Burn slide I scanned today.  Pictures of Green Day & Western trains pulled by Alco road switchers are rare.  But what struck my funny bone was the blur, and my thought was "Making like a Zephyr."

It's a Kodachrome and in 1965, Kodachrome II was ASA 25. Looks like the blue hour so the lens on Rick's camera was wide open and the speed 1/10 of a second at best.  Yes it blurred, but one could argue it's better because of the blur.  Those three Alcos were doing their best to make like a Zephyr.

Thanks Rick for a little chuckle,
