Yes, he does, but like the Myrtle slides he took, they are packed away when he moved to a different house at Pratt. Conrad started at Pratt in 58, right when the Q's replaced the 1300's. There are some really good shots on line now taken in the last years of operation.One of my old professors at Pratt, John Pyle, used to lecture in South Hall, above the power plant with the classroom windows facing Grand when the Lexington el was still running. He took pictures from the same window every day of the last days operations and the dismantling of the structure. Wish I knew where those photos are now. He told me he timed his lectures to pause in sync with the el trains passing by. |
