Underneath the new roof at Salzburg Hbf 2014-04-15--119+120
DB (German Railways) two-car class 628 DMU (formed of cars 628556 and 928556) stands on track 7 at Salzburg Hbf, forming 19.07 Salzburg Hbf - Landshut (Bay) Hbf.
This was taken while waiting for my Railjet to München (Munich), and I had plenty of time for photos of trains in the recently rebuilt station. The rebuilding had incorporated many aspects of the old station, but platforms had been rebuilt, the old overall roof refurbished, and a new overall roof (in keeping with the old one) built over areas which had previously been exposed - including the platforms on the south side. The new overall roof can be seen in the top left of this picture, false ceilings being installed over the tracks.
This was a more difficult image to process, because either the area under the false ceiling was under exposed or the detail was lost in the new overall roof because that area burned out. I was still in the habit of using the auto-bracket function on my camera, so I'd taken three frames of this in very quick succession with different exposures. My first attempt at processing used the frame with the lowest exposure, and meant I needed to lighten the train (and, to a lesser degree, the whole area under the false ceiling), but I found it hard to make the lightening look even. So a second attempt was made, using the same frame as a base but taking the train from the lightest frame (and then lightening it evenly, rather than painting it lighter).
I was on my way home after the seven-day PTG Tours "Rail Wonders of Croatia and Bosnia"; this was towards the end of the third day of my five-day journey. I'd stayed the previous night in Salzburg, but today had initially travelled south over the "Tauernbahn" to Villach, in order to do the lengthy branch to Kötschach-Mauthen, which was under threat of closure at the time (two and a half years later, in December 2016, it closed beyond Hermagor, although the remaining section was subsequently electrified). I then returned back north over the "Tauernbahn", before continuing on to München (Munich), where I was staying for two nights.
