Nostalgia & History > Flare Friday: Dark of the night!Date: 02/20/26 06:53 Flare Friday: Dark of the night! Author: santafe199 Fog is good! Fog is our friend! Especially when we’re equipped with a tripod and blessed with a source of friendly ambient light. Not to mention having an ample stock of Kodachrome… :^)
1. AT&SF 5430 points train 883 K-1, stopped for a crew change at Emporia, KS. Photo date: October 13, 1981. Thanks for looking back! Lance Garrels santafe199  Date: 02/20/26 07:12 Re: Flare Friday: Dark of the night! Author: Chico56 Very nice, well done amigo!

Yessir, you sure do! But it wasn't me. You could find that stair-step LG on a great many loco noses during that time period. But I never found out who was doing it... Lance Date: 02/20/26 17:34 Re: Flare Friday: Dark of the night! Author: pedrop I imagine it was a cold night; Great photo!

Thanks Pedro, for your compliment! To address your comment. I don’t remember it being cold. But Kansas was (still is) famous for having high humidity at times. So foggy nights like this were fairly common… Posted from iPhone |
