On 12th February 2005, and just a few kilometres from the border with Slovenia, Austrian State Railways (ÖBB) Class 2016 'Hercules' Bo-Bo diesel-electric No.2016 089-1 and 1944-built 'Kriegslok' 2-10-0 No.52 4984 wait at Eis Ruden station, St. Radegrund, Carinthia, Austria. The versatile 'Hercules' diesel was commissioned by ÖBB (Österreichische Bundesbahnen) in the early 2000s, introduced to replace their outdated diesel fleets, with an order of 100 being supplied from 2002. The 'Kriegslok' initially served with the Deutsche Reichsbahn as No.52 4984 (1944 - 1945); then in Yugoslavia as No. 33 227 (JDŽ 1945 - 1948 and JŽ from 1953 - 1991). Latterly, it moved to Austria and served with the Austrian Federal Railways (ÖBB) between 1991 and 2009 as a main line-certified heritage locomotive. Over 6,000 of these German wartime 2-10-0's were built and were scattered across Europe at the end of hostilities, including over 300 working in Austria. A new high-speed electrified railway has been built across this station site, connecting Graz and Klagenfurt (127 km/79 miles), coincidentally expected to open fully around the time of this image upload. This so named 250km/h high speed 'Koralm Railway' will be part of the Baltic-Adriatic rail corridor, connecting Poland, Austria and Italy.

Rollei Infrared 400 reversed to slide in PQ Universal, Ilford Reversal Processing. Antihalation layer removed to mimic the Kodak HIE look. Filter: Heliopan RG715
I really dig the look the Kodak HIE Infrared film had. The extended IR range, the clear base that made the highlights pop, the soft and airy glow it produced that made those otherworldy infrared scenes look dreamy, eerie and alien... And I wanted to shoot this film ever since, but all the stores have on offer today is the modern stock, no HIE.
How could I emulate this effect with modern films?
It comes down to the Antihalation layer! Its purpose is to prevent light from pipilng, scattering and reflecting inside the clear-base film. Kodak HIE didn't had this layer so the packaging stated (and rightfully so) to hande the film in the pitch black of the absolute dark. But modern clear-base 35mm consumer films - IR 400 included - do have it. But What if I wash the AHU layer away? Shouldn't then IR400 mimick the Kodak HIE IR glow effect and to what degree? And could a white film pressure plate aid me further in ruining my film for this artistic purpose? But I have to act quick - the winter is coming: greens are turning brown, the blue skies to everlasting winter gray...
And on that one perfect blue-sky day I got a hint of what's in store for me the next spring when the green returns to Latvia: it looks fucking close to Kodak HIE!
