Comments on: The gray days of winter: short daylight hours, heavy cloud cover, low contrast and compounded by slow film – fast Kodachrome was ASA64, regular Kodachrome ASA25 – hence slow shutter speeds….what to do…how ’bout night photography and remember after a night’s shooting you have to wait a week or more for your Kodachrome to be processed and returned – a notebook was an absolute necessity to record subject, date, time, temperature (weather), shutter speed and aperture settings ! The always busy night railway lands view from Bathurst Street: self propelled * Go Transit train, the Turbo entering the Spadina Coach Yard, four MLW S-13 CN 8500′s simmer the night away in the north and Spadina coach yard, lighted switch stands, all contrasted by the never used and dark TTR Bathurst Street control tower. And no Sky Dome, no condo’s, no railway grade separations…..track in the immediate right foreground is the double track CN High Line that allowed CN freight to by pass Spadina – John Street TTR Tower – Union congestion from Cabin D to east of Scott Street TTR Tower. [ * off peak and weekend GO service was sparsely patronized and handled by two or three car self propelled Hawker Siddeley built units ( pics out there by anyone?) numbered in the 'D' series (D100 to D108). ] January 2, 1977 Kodachrome by S. Danko – transported by a Nikon Nikkormat EL. Daytime Bathurst Street: busy place Hawker Siddeley built CP Rail #11 More Turbo: near Scarborough Jct near Guildwood near Cherry Street TTR tower sdfourty.
