GECX 2021, a Tier 4 Evolution Technology ET44AC, leads BNSF ES44C4 and GECX ES44AC 2012 on General Electric's test track.
After having tested the Three Hills Sub the previous day, CN's Track Evaluation train deadheads back north to Mirror. CN has assigned a veteran GP38-2W, still wearing a faded Zebra stripes, as the test train's power.
This is just a test shot to check if my camera is working and if I've inserted film right. I think they retouched my photos in the photo lab which well, sucks.
First public share of a test shot from my new old FujiFilm X-E1 and Meike 35mm f/1.7
It was pretty dark hence the shot is not perfectly sharp, I am discovering 'no ibis' time again. The picture is not touched by editing software, SOOC.
I think I must spend some time to get used to manual focusing and shutter speeds similar to what I had when shooting film.
I really like the bokeh of that Meike. It's pleasant, not disturbing.
Tri-Rail P690 with F40PHM-3C #811 leads southbound across Iris Interlocking preparing for a round of speed brake tests similar to those in December.
I ran across this photo in my archive. It's really a throw-away image; it was a lens test of Nikon 180mm f/2.8 ED on a Canon 5D. I bought the lens to use for astrophotography, but I took it out one day after work to see how the lens worked in general. I think I shot this to explore the lens's foreground blur. The quality of the light struck me, though.
just testing my new camera.

This is the lower half of Horseshoe Bend on the Colorado River in Arizona (An earlier posting shows the full view). The site is located above the Grand Canyon and a short distance below the Glen Canyon Dam that forms Lake Powell. It is near the town of Page, AZ and the Antelope Canyons are just a short distance away.
Oh, and I have even better photos, but I picked this one since you cannot distinguish the individuals. It is an amazing place, but if you visit, stay safe. Having said that, I do like the sense of size that the people add to this photo. For a further sense of size, note the wake from the 3 boats on the far end of the river.

37418 approaching Crewe with a Derby RTC - Holyhead - Derby test train. 37421 was bringing up the rear. That Gorse bush is obviously hard as nails, still flowering after days of near freezing conditions. 12th February 2021.

Fomapan 100 in Clayton F76 (1:9 @ 68 deg for 7 min)
WC was always willing to try something a little different but this sighting was a little much for the former ACR. WC 2001 leads train 2 running very late in the last sunshine of the day south of Searchmont. For some reason it was decided to try a couple CNW commuter coaches for a week or so on trains 1 and 2 between Hearst and Sault Ste. Marie. Reportedly the locals that used this train for the most part were far from impressed. 2-25-95.

this morning, I made some digital test shots exploring the possibilities that exist within the idea of artistic blur. here is one... I plan to make some of these on film in the near future.

After trading places a few days before with BMEX 259, RPRX 2010 finally hits the main line performing some tests that will possibly lead to the Union Railroad buy some gensets. Here 2010 leads a train of 10 slabs past the class yard bound for Irvin, the 259 struggled up the grades in the Mon Valley with only 7 slabs, the 2010 on the other hand handled the train with no problem.
