A Nod To New England Manufacturing: A Thing Of The Past
St. Lawrence & Atlantic geep #1758 is up early on this morning in Berlin, NH to switch the bustling James River/ex Brown Company paper mill. An extrodinary amount of business was generated from the local facilities of here, enough to even have their own railroad, Berlin Mills Railroad, that extended a few miles beyond the main plant to interconnect the processing. Within two years of this shot, all this would become a memory. Jame River closed all the plants in 1991 and along with it, erased 1000's of jobs.
That being said, with the help of a modern day darkroom, I also erased the high tension wires that were strung across the tight valley since this shot can't be duplicated today.
