I'm expecting a huge hand to reach into the scene move the Ford. Maybe its the soft lighting on the brick buildings. Whatever, it's a terrific photo.

It is a favorite of mine. Tom Dill used it in his "SOUTHERN PACIFIC'S SCENIC COAST LINE In color" book. - Tony Date: 12/25/04 13:32 Re: SP fleet at Seventh & Townsend - July 1962 Author: john1082 Possibly the depth of field?

Don't remember much about that day other than I was using my old Leica C-3 (or is it 3-C?), built in 1946. Still have it today. - Tony Date: 12/25/04 20:28 Re: SP fleet at Seventh & Townsend - July 1962 Author: espeejimmy Yes indeed, Tony, definitely more fun to watch back then than today.

( Which does not stand for Chicago, Rackenfratz, and Pacific ) There is nothing today that can compare with shot's like this. The equipment, and structures in the background are great! So... keep taking pictures, because in 50 years, these will be the "Good ol' days", God save you young guys!
