Here's one of my favorites. When I sent the slide back to Kodac to have a print made, they accidentally washed it out, and it came back looking like a watercolor. / Ron

No, I'm sorry George but I don't. The number on the end looks like "something" 35, maybe an L, but it's not clear enough to read. / Ron

Might be Tom, I don't know for sure. They had dozens of those things running around, and they repaired and modified them so much through the years it's hard to tell. / Ron

Joe, that was taken in 1960, and the archives show it being from "Bob's Photo Collection", obviously a dealer. I believe it's a Tom Smart photo, but I don't know that for sure. Nice picture buddy. / Ron

That narrows the date down to late fall/winter of 1960.--- Slide was in the Blue Box that mysteriously showed up at WHQ. Only info on slide was "Salem".

My favorite, the semaphores north of Orleans. I knew we'd arrived at my grandparents' home when we drove past them...

My favorite Monon picture FM #45 & BL 2 @ Paoli. At the left edge of the picture you can see my grandparents house. My grandfather, Marion (Ike) F. Cunningham, was a Monon fireman and engineer.

That looks like Earl Road, north of US 20 and just south of the PM crossing.

My shot of the crossing sign is just a little older....I think I was about 17 when I took this.
