MY LIFE IN TRAINS
My Life After the Official ‘End of Steam’
Part Five
British Rail Main Line – 1988 to 1990 - One
Photos from several locations, mostly in Yorkshire. They were taken on two 35mm cameras – a Pentax Spotmatic SP500 SLR and a little Olympus viewfinder camera.
I scanned the negatives and slides using a Konica Minolta Dimage Scan Dual IV, and I have cropped and adjusted the images to get the best I can out of them using Adobe Lightroom.
