And one more from days of yore. In the early 70s I was working in Hartford CT and started out on a weekend trip to visit my father in northern VT. I caught a NB BM freight at Brattleboro and went up the line for another shot. I set up in a cut over corn field, nice curve, the whole bit. Train came, took a nice shot and got in the car and headed north as the sun was fading fast. A couple hours later I stopped in the Fairlee diner for a piece of their great pie and a coffee. As I got out of the car, I had a sinking feeling: "Where is the camera case?" Phone to Dad "I'll be a few hours late". Turn around and drive back below Bellows Falls and try to find the cornfield. Of course by now it's totally dark. I aim the car into the field andwith the light of the headlights,there is the camera case. As I was getting back in the car, a VT state trooper came along and asked what I was up to. I guess my explanation was so wierd he figured it must be the truth. So back on the I91 and finally, 5 hours late, at Dad's place.
