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.

I took this photo in Michigan City in the early 70s.

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.
