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: http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/Switching+7.jpg.html Four-locomotive teams are not uncommon: http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/The+Engines+9.jpg.html 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: http://www.gallery.leica-users.org/v/OldNick/Tripacer+10.jpg.html I'm not sure what lenses were in use when these images were made.
