Viewing Album:  Atlanta Terminal Station and the Southern Crescent
 
By:Frank Greene
Dates:6/4/1970 - 1/1/1979
Album Info:This album contains some of the photographs that I took of the Atlanta Terminal Station on the day it closed (June 14, 1970) and the Southern Crescent in the 1970s. The Terminal Station photos were taken with a box camera and suffer from the fixed focus/aperture and poor quality lens, but they are all I have (I didn't have a clue what SLR, 35mm, and slide film meant, and digital was what you did with your fingers).
