Railroad Switch Signal
A
rusty old railroad switch signal flag on the old Chicago, Milwaukee, and St. Paul
line to Fond Du Lac. Seen in the woods just north of Mayville,
Wisconsin. The photo was taken in September of 2016 with a Pentax 67
medium format SLR equipped with a 105 mm f/2.4 SMC Pentax 67 lens
on Ilford FP4+ film. The negative was enlarged optically with a
Beseler 23CIIXL enlarger and a 100 mm f/5.6 Schneider Componon-S lens on
Ilford Multigrade FB Classic Double Weight Fiber Base silver gelatin photo
paper. Processing was done archivally using Kodak chemistry, with a
final toning with Kodak Rapid Selenium Toner, treated with hypo clearing
agent, and washed in an archival washer.
