Nostalgia & History > Thirty or more years ago on CAJON pass.....Date: 07/30/04 20:22 Thirty or more years ago on CAJON pass..... Author: LesWhite I dug these out of the collection that show some typical trains of the 1972-1974 era.....they are copied from original 126 prints hence the poor reproduction but for nostalgia they are priceless of course ...
this scene is 3373 on a Pig train.......this unit survives in 2004 as BNSF 2573  Date: 07/30/04 20:24 Re: Thirty or more years ago on CAJON pass..... Author: LesWhite westbound approaches Cajon station

I took the liberty (I hope you don't mind) of just doing an Auto Color Balance on one photo simply to see what would happen, and as you can see it made a big difference. I spent about 5 seconds doing it, you could probably improve it futher with further tweaking. Have a good weekend!

Author: lincolnnoahbaxter BNSF 2600 was at Picrivera Yard {LA} on July 11, 2004. Probably still there kicking cars in yard service. Great pictures!
