Canadian Railroads > Freight Car FridayDate: 05/14/21 06:18 Freight Car Friday Author: Blackfoot Three random pictures from the first roll of film I ever shot, on the first SLR I ever owned, a Canon AE-1. All three were taken in the CN yard in North Battleford SK, April 1977.

That was a lot of cash for a 16 year old high school student with a part time job in his dad's service station, so I shot a lot of B&W in the early years to save on money. Cheers, Dwayne |
