Nostalgia & History > SP Narrow Gauge stuffDate: 09/17/23 12:05 SP Narrow Gauge stuff Author: jbwest The recent news that the SP 9 at the Laws museum might be restored got me to going through some of my old stuff from when No. 9 made it's last run back in 1959. I found a few new things in my file that I have added to my website album, and might be of interest. And some of the new AI technology for restoring photos helped me improve on some of my primitive photographic efforts back then. Here is a link to the album, and a sample of one of the old faded overexposed Anscochromes I was able to salvage (I think the website version is a little sharper).
