[Leica] Found in Camera

Hi Jim,
I really liked the tonality in these pictures - when I first opened them I 
thought maybe you had sprung for a Monochrom.
There?s still something to be said for film.
Thanks for posting.

Subject: [Leica] IMG: Found in Camera

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.

C & C welcomed.
