We are about to enter the doldrums of cloudy and rainy November. So here, I present a colourful, cathartic capture to counter the "meh" of the eleventh month! #TBT
I ran across these two shots from over 10 years ago that look like I took them yesterday. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing!!
Since Pan Am is in the news lately I figured I would put up a few Pan Am shots from my trip in 2015. In 2015 GSP was kind enough to give me the full 1 week tour of New England railroading. We had mostly good luck with the weather and managed to shoot a number of the Guilford Highhood GP40s which were high on my list. Probably the most impressive consist was this quartet with two GP40s leading POWA. Unfortunately due to a failed attempt at the Maine Eastern (which we later more than made up for) we missed most of the well lit opportunities of this train but this one came out quite nice. Here the train is approaching Leeds Junction with 373 leading 377. At Leeds they would swap the locos around for some long forgotten reason.

Saw a coworker at North Park way back in 2014. This is his photo, but I used Gigapixel AI to increase the size of the image from 960x640 to 3840x2560. It mostly worked! Well, it worked better than I expected. There are some funky things going on if you look closely, but I think it was worth the price. Just don't expect to enlarge fine art with it. I think this app is best for enlarging old, low-res snapshots.
Throwback Thursday
I took this picture 1994 at White Sands, USA on film. A good friend of mine digitised the slide on his Nikon Coolscan. The original slide looked more yellowish so I pushed it to the snowwhite look I remember.
I`m not sure about the equipment I used at that time. I guess it was my old faithful Nikon F-601 with the Nikkor 28-80mm AF-D.
Once again a scan of a slide from my 1994 holiday in southern USA. This one was taken on a trip from El Paso to Phoenix.
This is especially for you Llanuza!
Algoma Central FP9A 1752 and friends bask in the golden sunset of a beautiful Sault St. Marie evening in August 1996. We had just returned from a private car charter round trip up to Hearst and back.
The photo was taken yesterday but the consist is a real throwback. One of 4 SD50's remaining in YN2 paint leads Q211 through Emory, GA. The unit still sported a Leslie RS5T too!
Four Maroon C420 glow in the last light of day as the Monnet turn chugs back into Rogers. As I was taking this I realized this was one of the last times this would ever happen....turns out I was wrong but it was still the last time for me.
