Kansas City Southern tunnel under Washington Street, Vicksburg |
1898 keystone |
One building had piles and piles of old invoices and receipts. I guess this is the paperless office we hear about so often.
I revisited the terminal on a sunny day spring 2017 when I was testing my newly-acquired Hasselblad. These three are with Tri-X 400 film. Not much has changed. There is still a faint aroma of petrochemicals. Mississippi is easy for this type of photography because many abandoned sites are unlocked and open.
The horizontal photographs are from a Fuji GW690II 6×9 medium format rangefinder camera and Panatomic-X film. The square photographs are from a Hasselblad 6×6 camera with a Zeiss 80mm f/2.8 CB lens using Kodak Tri-X 400 film.
UPDATE APRIL 7, 2018: The pumps, valves, and metal stands are gone. The site is covered with new soil and gravel.
