Loachapoka 15 Years Ago - a photo on Flickriver

Loachapoka 15 Years Ago

            I had a lot of fun pulling my slides from 2014 out and scanning them to post for look backs a decade later over the past year, and figured why not keep the archives scanning project going. So over the course of the year I'll be working in some shots looking back 15 years ago to 2010. That was a good year that I remember quite fondly, lots of good trips were had and of course was capped off that fall with Auburn winning the college football national championship.

So throwing it back to 15 years ago today, a Q602 is grinding up the hill at Loachapoka behind UP run-thru power in the form both DC and AC SD70 variants. My 24-year old self was still getting the finer points of composition down back then and this one isn't the greatest being side-lit, but it's probably the only time thought to work in that neat old building across Highway 14 from the tracks that houses the Lee County Historical Society. Would be hard to recreate this shot today with better sun angles as the grove of trees that was planted alongside the tracks here has really grown up; not to mention that UP power rarely runs through on the manifests out of New Orleans anymore and the SD70Ms are now mostly relegated to local service.
