Continuing with my Experiments using High Contrast Films in my Very Old Dark Brown RODINAL I tested some outdated Kodak TECHNICAL PAN 35mm then loaded a 11/1993 dated 120 into my MAMIYA C220 + 80mm f2.8 'Blue Dot Sekor' and developed in my RODINAL diluted 1+30 for 10 mins @ 20oC. The negatives were fantastically SHARP ! Also, the Contrast was well controlled. I rated film at 25 ASA but I could have used 40 ASA as some negs were a bit dense. I used a MONOPOD to steady camera as I was getting mainly 1/30th second. a NEW Wall Art on the Spread Eagle Pub Wall -- 1/15th @ f5.6

After waiting out a southbound CN train at Gilman the TP&W is once again rolling east with work at Crescent City next.
The days trip from East Peoria to Effner, IN, was off to a very foggy morning and the rest of the day was heavy overcast.
A big Tunnel motor waits to take a train west on the Tip, back when they were under Rail America Control. At the time we couldn't believe they RA was running such heavy power on the shit TP&W track. Eventually the RA paid for it when their lack of track maintanance, lack of business, and heavy motors didn't quite make sense on this small RR. The big tunnel motors didnt quite agree with small, unkept, spur tracks found in towns like, say, Piper City, IL. The Tip in today's G&W control now demands big power, which shows when they pull 140 car trains. As much as as I dislike a conglomerate company owning my Tip, the G&W sure has turned this railroad around for the best.

2011 Ford Crown Victoria
SEPTA Transit's fleet of Ford Crown Victoria's have become a rare sight since 2016 when the fleet of CVPI's were replaced with 2016 Interceptors. As of 2021, Around 5 2011 CVPI's remain inside SEPTA's Transit force. You can find this Crown Victoria housed at SEPTA's 69th St Transportation Center in Upper Darby, PA.
I believe this excursion was named the Prairie Marksman, a 2 day trip from Effner, Ind. to Keokuk, Iowa and back the next day on Sept. 29 and 30, 1979 with freshly painted GP30 700 that was repainted from the Bicentennial paint scheme. shown here at Effner, Ind. loading passengers for the trip west.
