Hi Larry:
Wow, what a fantastic bunch of photos.
You have enough photos there for Morning Sun Books to publish a "Trackside
_____ with Larry Sallee" book, probably a few volumes to span all the years &
RRs. The "____" could be specific RRs, decades, or regions (Illinois, Midwest,
West, etc).
I am especially fond of your color photos of the #4960 posing with the Denrock
branch depots at Walnut, IL and Tampico, IL.
I will gladly order any books published with your photos.
I book-marked your Picaso web site and will need to view it several times to
properly appreciate the breadth, range, & artistry of your photos. Thanks for
sharing them with us.
