Very nice David! I've wanted to shoot this location since moving to Atlanta but never gotten around to it. Too bad todays diesels don't look nearly as good as this crossing Peachtree Creek.

Nikos, thanks for your note on this. Unfortunately, this location has changed quite a bit since I made this photograph in August 1975. The cement plant, from which I was photographing, is long gone, and has been replaced by a complex of galleries and boutiques, and the creekside portion of the property is slightly below track level. Also, the MARTA rail line runs slightly to the east of the NS bridge, and their bridge over the creek is now part of the landscape. I haven't looked at it precisely, but I believe that one would need to be shooting out of the window of the building closest to creekside to get close to replicating this view.
