CSX SD70MAC 4740, LaPorte, IN 36J
All dressed up like a CSX freight, NS 36J rolls under the classic New York Central signal bridge that marks the eastern end of the 3rd Main that runs to Pinola, IN. Led by CSX SD70MAC 4740, the eastbound is approaching LaPorte, IN on NS's Chicago Line. The action here took place on a hot July day in 2013. I was still getting used to my new digital camera and had my old film Sigma 70-300mm zoom on it, to see what the results would be. I was not too pleased, but I should have known that any flaws an outdated lens would have would certainly show up in a digital world. The lens wasn't very sharp and it didn't handle harsh lighting conditions too well, either. Needless to say, this lens stayed in the bag until it was replaced by a Nikon version, which I absolutely love.
