A few days ago, I noticed that my Bessa R2a had a roll of BW400CN in it,
from some time ago. I got it processed by a local lab and checked out
the images.
Tullahoma owes its existence to the railroad connecting Nashville and
Chattanooga. Though the depot is closed now, it once did a bustling
business. During the Civil War, there was a field hospital here, and a
local cemetery contains the remains from both sides. The railroad and
depot divide Atlantic Street into parallel two-way streets, making it
one of the widest streets in the US, according to local postcards.
There is still a branch line coming into the main tracks, along with
sidings, so switching is a common hindrance to cross-town traffic.
The switches are set manually:

Four-locomotive teams are not uncommon:

The final image is from the airport, where, on some forgotten visit, I
spied a Piper Tripacer in the same paint scheme as the one I flew for a
number of years. I had to grab an image:

I'm not sure what lenses were in use when these images were made.
C & C welcomed.
