Beef On Orleans, I was walking to the Chicago Brown Line “L” station and espied the 4000s deadheading back to Skokie Shops.

Most of my photographs (and videos) were shot on the Inner Loop Quincy and Wells.Īlso, after having a late lunch at Mr. If I had, I would have folded it flat to fit it in my satchel (which you can glimpse hanging from my left shoulder). You have managed to get me in one of your photographs of the 4000s at Clark and Lake (see above). Hundreds attempt to board the special train at Clark and Lake. To find this, hover your mouse over the image.

When referring to individual images, please use the image name/number, i.e. I don’t think there is a single image that I didn’t try to improve in some way, and I included a few of the original scans, just to show you how some of them looked before corrections were applied.Īs always, if you have location information, or other factual tidbits to share, don’t hesitate to either leave a Comment on this post, or drop us a line Sadowski I spent a great deal of time working these over in Photoshop, but in some cases, imperfections remain. So these were likely homemade dupes, and a lot of them were not color-corrected. A regular lab would have used special low-contrast Ektachrome duplicating film.Ĭontrast is your enemy when copying things film-to-film, and Kodachrome is contrasty– great for original slides, not as good for dupes. Mostly, these were dupe slides made using Kodachrome, which is not what commercial labs used for this purpose. Scanning an image is just a starting point in this whole process. Some we have run before, but I don’t think too many of you will mind seeing them again, this time from a different source.

CA&E 410 (plus one), westbound at Fifth Avenue in Maywood.Ī friend recently gave me a stack of Chicago Aurora & Elgin slides, which make up the bulk of today’s post.
