Chicago & North Western - Escanaba, Michigan

I did indeed appreciate your picture of this station as my family is from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.The quality of the photo is remarkable from the available film of that era.

Yes, Kodachrome film was and is known for two things: Rich color, and stable color that doesn't fade with time.

Unfortunately, my father also used some cut-rate film and processing at times. Some of his other old pictures are almost beyond recovery because they have faded so badly.

Here is my personal favorite:

It was his 1948 Cadillac. The picture was taken in 1952. I was only 3 years old at the time. The original transparency was moderately faded and it took some time experimenting to get the colors back to this level.

That's a great shot and a nice slice of history! Thanks...
