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

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:

Straightening these up would ease the necks of those sensitive to level. :-)
