Well, I didn't start shooting slides until Spring of 1964, but during 1963 I had shot some 8mm movies. So, that leaves out PE, the LA PCC's, I only have one photo of the SP PA units, never got the Kentucky House branch. Very little of the NWP. The Almanor Railroad, SP Oakdale Branch, and, well lots of stuff.
It really wasn't until I got my butt kicked out of San Jose State ("acedemic disqualifiction")and I started working full thime that I could afford a lot of film---and then working 5 and often 6 days a week didn't help. So many things only ran weekdays and I had a boss who thought all this was out and out stupidity---until one of his cousins "came out", so to speak and admitted being a railfan. Up until 1983, the vacation policy at Curtis Lindsay Inc. was two weeks vacation, no matter how long you had been there. When that changed, virtually overnight I had four weeks.
Before I get carried away here, yes, there are a lot of things I didn't shoot, but just glad I got what I did,
