Transfoto slides

[pharrc20]

Hello, I have recently inherited a large collection of railway transparency colour slides and some are marked in capitals TRANSFOTO, with TRANS in narrow script and FOTO in bold wide script.

 

Has anyone come across this name before? Was it a railway related film processing company or something else? The wording is in black and at the bottom of the white frame the usual capitals VIEW FROM THIS SIDE. There is no film processing info on the front or back of the frame unlike the other 1,000s of Fujichrome mounts, which have this printed on.

 

I have attached a photo of one such slide.

 

Talking of which has anyone seen a way of scanning and reading the film processing info e.g. 060896 T3G32544 30, which is the date ddmmyy then maybe a processing code? then the frame number.

 

Thanks Paul
