Great photos! I've actually been right where a couple of the Western photos were taken!
Looks like a nice clear day at Corwith Yard in the first pic. Maybe the temp will actually climb to above freezing. 
Thanks for posting. A tip of the hat to Jack Delano for his skill and knowledge in making these photos on very slow color transparency sheet film.
You may have noticed that my Home Road does not have many annoying trees to block the view .

Good point on the technical difficulty in using Kodachrome, especially early Kodachrome, for indoor, night time and other low lighting conditions. I shot some Kodachrome 25 years ago but only in full sun or with still subjects and a tripod. I believe Kodachrome in the 40s was 16 ASA. That was slow film!
Jack Delano's 500+ color photos taken for the Farm Security Administration and the Office of War Information can all be viewed on line thanks to the Library of Congress.

The 35mm Kodachrome I used up until about 1960 was ASA TEN!

Thanks for the info. Know I know why the knob on my old Minolta goes down to 10.
And thanks for the spectacular shot of the K4!
...not to mention the photo was taken with a 100% manual Kodak "Pony" camera, using the "recommended" exposure for sunlight and focused on infinity! God bless the inventors of Photoshop!
So, Kent, you used to keep the paper that came with the roll of film in your pocket, too? As your photo shows, it worked. I shot a lot of film that way too, until, around 1969, I bought a Weston hand-held light meter.

Weston was the "pro" model, although I did use a GE for a while. My Weston had a hood that snapped over the end to read "incident" (direct) light.
Remember the basic exposure rule for sunlight? f11 (f16 on white sand or water) at 1/ASA Speed.
