Even from the air, you can sense the excitement that 6060’s arrival generated! It took a small army to confirm the date and location of this 35mm Kodachrome image. Special thanks to Steve, Paul, Greg and Jim! Steve: Date is Sept 23, 1978. That is from my records and log book. Paul: I'm going with Acton, westbound, must have been pretty early in the morning as the shadows are very long. Greg: Those would be the shed tracks at the bottom of the frame, Wallace Street coming in on the upper left. Jim: I think Paul's got it. Looks to be Acton.

    Isn’t this wild? I’m looking at the automobiles; think I see some Ford wagons of the day……is that a Pinto wagon; the reddish one? And there’s a ’78 Cougar on the left. And no doubt there are half a dozen people I know wandering in that shot…but cannot make out faces. Love this photo!!!

    Arnold, I’m thinking that must not be a Pinto wagon… I don’t see anybody walking around wearing a crash helmet.
