HN 4 |
| Description: |
HUTCHINSON KS May 1981 -- Hutchinson & Northern S1 No. 4 awaits work. Myself and a fellow railfan spent night driving from Norman OK to Hutchinson just to photograph this unit. We stopped at numerous train locations and finally arrived shortly before sunrise. A few hours later we got this shot. I also shot it in Panatomic X but those negatives are still lost somewhere in the move to Washingtpm state. See http://www.rrpicturearchives.net/locoPicture.aspx?id=145236 for more information on this locomotive. Date is based on slide mount and is therefore approximate. |
