In the late 1970's, a published article about VIA Rail operations around Brockville, Ontario included a photo of a train with flowers prominent in the foreground. Several of my railfan friends and I saw this as not being "proper" railroad photography. A few months later, I was invited to go on a trip to Brockville, and I took this photo of an FPA4 in the petunias on a dare. Close to 36 years later, my views of railroad photography have broadened, and I'm glad that I burned that frame of Kodachrome.
