Lights, Camera, Action...
In contrast to some recent uploads this night-time freight working hits all the bright spots as it passes through the centre of the contemporary-build Reading station. DB Cargo 'Shed' 66088 is doing the honours, and is captured rolling along platform 12 with the 7.31pm Acton T.C. - Tytherington Stone Terminal discharged aggregate wagons (4V45).
To avoid going too high on the ISO setting I took a chance on a 1/125s shutter speed - which just about paid off. That said, it still needed 20,000asa to land it, so a bit of noise reduction was required to remove the worst of the grain.
The apartments in the background belong to the Thames Quarter building complex.
Comments off, thanks.
