Viewing Album:  Photos from the late 1980's
 
By:Mike Berka
Dates:8/22/1987 - 12/31/1989
Album Info:I first started taking photos in August 1987. The camera that I had at the time was a Kodak instamatic. It used 126 type film, and the photos were only three and a half, by three and a half. I'm not too sure about the dates on some of these photos. Some of the photos where the locomotive was new, I was able to look up in a locomotive directory, and at least get an idea for when it was built. These photos were taken in 1987, 1988, and 1989. The month and day with some, I'm not sure about. Even the year too, but these photos covered these years. I do remember some of the months and years for some of these photos, and I do at least have all of the locations correct.
