Kent Ohio Railroad Photos

Photos I took while in high school for photography class.at Kent Roosevelt. These are from 1989. Taken in Kent and also some from Twin Lakes / Brady Lake area outside of Kent. Some shots of the last days of the caboose in active use. The tracks include Conrail (old Pennsylvania), Conrail (old Erie), Old Erie car shops, abandoned New York Central line to Cleveland (then turned into a Conrail spur) and the CSX mainline (former B&O). If you know Kent and if you look closely you'll recognize a lot of the backgrounds

Great video. I am Mike and Jays younger brother btw.

@JustinMetallicA Mike and Jay??? Braybon??? I know a few Mike and Jays but which family? I have some good VHS stuff but I need to find it. All from between 1987 and 1990 including many cabooses. I need to search for it! My camera now is junk because i use it for fishing videos and am afraid to drop it in the water.

By the way Mark I got a lot of vintage Kent slides.

[JustinMetallicA]

@MarkCox73 Yes. Nice man I'd like to see it. I seen a few water proof camera's on eBay.. I thought of buying one, if you make the fishing videos that would be a nice one to have for underwater shots.

Great photos! I like b/w because it shows lots of detail in the subject that would be lost in a color shot. I hope you received a good grade, and I wish i could shoot like that. WELL DONE,LAD!
