Salt Lake, Garfield & Western motorcar MC-3 1950s

            Salt Lake, Garfield & Western ("The Saltair Route") streamlined motorcar MC-3. This well-traveled motorcar.was part of a three car order built by ACF in 1935 for Seaboard Air Line (SAL 2024-2026). Seaboard sold the cars in 1944, with two going to the original Norfolk Southern (and later exported to Cuba) and this one, SAL 2026, going to Aberdeen & Rockfish as their 106. It then became Salt Lake Garfield & Western MC-3 in 1951, and finally arrived on the California Western ("The Skunk") in 1963, becoming M-300.

Purchased slide, photographer unknown. Photography trivia- this was the first time I'd seen a "half frame" 35mm slide. You could buy half frame cameras that squeezed two images out of each frame. They got mounted in a regular slide mount, but of course with a half-size image area. My friend Marty Bernard had told me about using these, but prior to buying this slide I don't ever recall  having actually seen one. Sort of the equivalent of setting your digital camera to a lower resolution!
