May 5th, 2004 – Blast from The Past – A conductor performs a roll-by inspection at the siding at Freeze, in Cape Girardeau, Missouri on the BNSF River Subdivision.
From what I find online the subdivision runs between St. Louis, MO and Memphis, TN and is an ex-Frisco line that hugs the west bank of the Mississippi River for about 100 miles or so.
This image from a trip I did over 20 years ago with a group of good friends from the Western Kentucky Chapter of the National Railway Historical Society and for one reason or another this, along with many other images from the trip were never processed. So, expect to see other images from this trip in the weeks to come on Saturdays! Thankfully the D100 had an option for doing voice recordings tied to the images where I gave locations and other information. Otherwise, the captions would have a lot less information.
Tech Info: Nikon D100, Nikon 24mm, f/13, 1/500, ISO 500.
