ATSF 8082         
PURCELL OK March 31 1985 -- The engineer has just grabbed orders as Santa Fe 8082 leads a tofc train southbound at Purcell. Note orders hanging for pickup by the rearend crew. Pardon the grain caused by Ektachrome 400, late afternoon sun and perhaps overuse of unsharp mask in my zeal for detail.

Bernie Feltman General Ah, the days of train orders !! Very nice photo, Charles. My grandfather didn't have a fancy pole to place his hoops on. He would walk out to the edge of the track, touch his hoop to the end of the cross tie to make sure he was the perfect distance away from the track, and slowly raise his hoop as the head end approached. The memories this photo brings back !!!! 8/14/2011 11:42:42 AM
