October, 1986 – This is pretty much the only train shot I got on two different photo assignments I had while I served in the US Air Force, which took me to China.
This photograph was made at the end of a day on assignment where I covered the crew of a KC-10 Refueling Tanker that flew a group of Chinese Acrobats that had been performing in the U.S. back to their home in China. I documented the trip and on one of the three days our driver and translator stopped by one of the stations around Beijing so I could photograph a train. Unfortunately we didn’t travel on any train and there wasn’t time to explore as we weren’t allowed to travel around on our own.
Tech Info: Kodachrome Slide shot with a Nikon. No other tech info recorded unfortunately!
