Grafton & Upton 1501

The Grafton & Upton seems to have acquired an F7 recently. The last of those were built in 1953. They also have a GP-9 and a CF7. I’m wondering if the owner is indulging a hobby. Canon 5D Mark II, EF 15mm.

Different Paths

MBCR train P523 has just passed under Rt. MA-140. Grafton, MA. Canon 5D Mark II, EF 15mm. f/8, 1/250s, ISO 1600.

The train was a few minutes ahead of schedule! I hopped off my bicycle and dragged out my camera. I always pack it set to Program mode so I can at least get something at a short notice. I would have probably switched to Shutter-Priority mode (something above 1/1000s) if I had some time to think.
