Viewing Album:  Fallen flag freight cars
 
By:Bob Zimmermann
Dates:6/15/1968 - 12/31/1974
Album Info:My father gave me a Polaroid Colorpack II for my first camera. It didn't take great pictures, but I used it to record freight cars in local rail yards and sidings before graffiti became popular. Pictures were taken in the late 1960's and early 1970's. Enjoy.
