Randomness - Interesting MBTA Red Line Shot
I'm a luddite when it comes to picture taking. I still use film, slides in fact. One downside is I find it very difficult to show blog readers any of my shots.
Before I was enlightened by Debate Coach, I took many, many Kodacolor prints. In cleaning out the archives this week, I found some of the first pictures I took as an upstanding adult. Once upon a time I worked in Waltham MA. One evening after work I detoured via the Red Line yard at Fort Point Channel. To me this is still the New Haven yard, but I'm stuck in a time warp.
Anyhow, I was there just as light was disappearing. This isn't a photograph for the ages, but under the heading of "take the shot while you have it", I happened to get all three generations of Red Line cars running at the time in one shot. This picture was dated October 2000. I'm glad I got it.

Welcome to HAPT's Railfan Adventures
The Hebron Any Power Team is actually just a bunch of fun-loving rail enthusiasts who enjoy photographing and chasing all things railroad with friends. This bunch of guys cover a lot of ground for a group based way up "nawth" in Maine. We also have friends scattered around the country who contribute well to our hobby. In fact, our name is derived from our actual friends in the Worcester Foreign Power Team, except that Hebron hasn't seen a train since the 1950's so we'll settle for "any power".
Welcome and enjoy the eclectic collections of the contributors. Maine idealizes "life in the slow lane" so we present this blog as an effort to share our less time sensitive findings and to add to our hobby.

Looks like old caboose trucks on the flatcar too. Old NYNH&H? I couldn't have spotted 3 generations. Cool.
Looks like the Cabot Yards in South Boston
