Southwest Ave in Kansas City ready to back down to the Union Station. 616 contact print, probably from a Wes Krambeck negative. Nice shot,
Yes, 116/616 was popular for railroad photography. Some good photographers moved from 616 to 122 (Postcard) or 4x5.
My old man, who sidelined as a freelance writer and photographer, used a Mamiya C-3 in 2 1/4 x 3 1/4, after his Speed Graphic finally broke down. Then we went 35mm.
