Paul,

No criticism intended, thank you VERY much for these photos (DL&W images
too), but after playing with this particular image in Photoshop CS2, I was
able to improve it considerably.

I have a question for the readers who live in that area, at least those who
have a few years on them. Even after fixing this photo up, the buildings in
the background are shrouded in . . . fog? Smoke? Was that typical of
atmospheric conditions in them thar days, when steam locomotives were the
power for switching? Or was this likely just a smoky day without much of
any breeze?

FWIW, I revised the file name to conform to my filing conventions, not that
it matters at all to any of you . . .

SGL
