Now That's Something You Don't See Anymore
Title:  Now That's Something You Don't See Anymore
Description:  By Esther Fairchild. Esther didn't think of it as a photographic success, but there's too much good "old" stuff here to pass up. The scene is near "Ivy City" in North East Washington, D.C. in November of 1987. Among the things no longer seen: a Conrail "SW" type switcher with a Rio Grande box car and Conrail caboose on an industry track just the other side of the Amtrak "Northeast Corridor" main line. Then there's a pre-MARC evening commuter train on the B&O "Capital" subdivision featuring a Maryland Department of Transportation RDC (with the vestibule door open, no less). In the background, the Hecht & Co. (department store) warehouse. A true collection of antiques. Thanks, Esther, for letting me put this one up.
