That’s a nice find. Old film that held up. I don’t think I have any missing cameras so
it’s not likely to happen to me.

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.
