FEATURES
Never mind the violent strike that was occurring on the FEC, Jay Winn braved the police and the picket lines while getting some amazing strike-era photography on the Florida East Coast, including passenger trains pulled by E-units, freights pulled by F's and even the hi-rail station wagons that preceded each train driven by shotgun-wielding employees!
Intermodal operations have change during the years, and this is an interesting look at trainloads of trailers, containers and even roadrailers. From the early days to the modern era, you won't believe how things have changed on the intermodal scene.
Mike Bednar presents the work of Dave Augsburger and Gene Collora, two true artists of black and white photography.
