Detail, Yard Office, Bloomington, Indiana

A photograph of mine was awarded second prize in the black-and-white category of the 2023 John E. Gruber Creative Photography Awards hosted by the Center for Railroad Photography & Art. More information on the award program and Center can be found here.

The picture was made in the Illinois Central Gulf yard office in Bloomington, Indiana. Ron Potsch was third-trick Operator/Clerk at the time. This was Illinois Central's line between Effingham, Illinois, and Indianapolis, known as the “Hi-Dry” for its high bridges and fills.

The telephone one sees here has separate mouthpiece and headset; the radio is a typical Motorola of the time, and the train orders are hand-written on flimsy paper with carbons inserted between pages for the creation of multiple copies. These train orders would be hand-delivered to the crew of a moving train via a wooden, Y-shaped stick.

Ismail Ferdous, Sea Beach

Colourful life at the beach: Cox's Bazar lies at the southernmost point of Bangladesh. It is a popular destination for many of the country's population, stretching along the Bay of Bengal. It is considered a cultural melting pot, where people from every walk of life and place in society search for a few moments of relaxation and recreation. Though he is currently based in New York, the photographer (born 1989) originates from Bangladesh, and returned to this special place to capture the beach goers and atmosphere in brilliant colours.

Tennessee Pass

An eastbound train is seen here on the Denver Rio Grande & Western line over Tennessee Pass. This specific locale is just north of Leadville, Colorado, near MP 284—Google Maps has it as Piney Gulch.

A Wisconsin Central EMD SD45 is on the point along with at least one unit from Conrail. This steep grade over the Great Divide demands a lot of horses and so there are two Southern Pacific units working hard at a mid-train position in addition to the six up front. At the time, this was the highest active mainline railroad mountain pass in the United States, but it is currently embargoed, though the tracks are still in place.

I saw a (FB) post of the pass by James Belmont today and so dug around to find these. This was never my turf, and I just happened to be there with my father, medium format camera (filled with Plux-X) in hand. I should say, those eight locomotives were screaming for all they were worth, and the train was moving at about five miles an hour.

Two images by Richard Koenig; taken in the summer of 1996.

Black culture has a positive side that makes events more enjoyable when everyone is having a great time together. The word that describes it the best is 'family'. From a young age, in black culture, you are taught to treat everyone as an equal or as a 'family'.
