I shot this image while visiting my mom in Wisconsin USA about 1987 (give or take maybe 5 years) as a tranny with a Minolta. In 2000, as a test, I digitized the tranny with my 3mp Nikon 990 (my first digi-cam) for which I had a very cool attachment for shooting slides. That digitized image has been in my archives for 18 years.
A few days ago I was strolling through a folder with a few hundred of the old Nikon 990 images, looking at my kids when young, family dogs, vacations, my old house, lighting tests, textures and abstracts (not unlike what I'd shoot these days), etc.
When I saw that shot below in jjjohn's photostream, it instantly reminded me of my Wisconsin shot, and I got inspired to post it.
I didn't have time to go track down the tranny, so I opened the scan done by the Nikon 990. It was a measly 1600x1300 pixels. Fortunately, low-res life is pretty good these days. First I ran it through Topaz A.I Clear to improved the noise, then used the amazing Topaz A.I. Gigapixel to up the res by 400% to 6300x5200 pixels. A bit of retouching in Photoshop and it was ready to rock-n-roll!

Canadian Pacific rock train, led by 4405 in Soo Line paint, charges westward out of Columbus, Wisconsin with 11 cars in tow on a steamy July 17, 2015.
The WC shield, a bit battered, and bruised, but still proudly proclaiming its heritage, catches some late afternoon sun in the Waterville Yard. The 50' Plate C boxcars, once a staple of the midwest, have recently migrated east towards Pan Am, carrying SNC reporting marks (this one is SNC 21043). They have reinforced floors, and have a higher load weight for paper than the scores of old Maine Central and Boston & Maine boxcars that used to fill this role.
