Artist's Comments

This shot marks the use of my new Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L USM tele-zoom. I think you'll notice a difference between the shots obtained from this lens versus the ones taken with the old Sigma.

I rarely get to see anything other than BNSF and UP traction. Even more so within territory that sees strictly UP power (and its subsidiaries) 99.9% of the time.

Here, a unit grain train sits dead on an industrial spur in Salina, on the Salina Sub, just ahead of the east throat to the Salina yard. Traction includes Norfolk Southern C40-9W #9102, ex-Conrail C40-8W #8337, and brand new BNSF Gevo ES44DC #7574.

I know, it's dark, but that'll be fixed later down the line.

I kinda like it with in this darkened state. It lends a more mysterious air to the picture, and NS engines are painted black...so they ought to be pretty dark. :) When I worked at KCS, I saw more foreign power than anything else, since all the coal trains we ran came off other railroads, and KCS just added a few more engines to the trains to get them over the hill'n'dale Shreveport sub.

Little burning on the sky? :D

I've been guilty of that myself when in the darkroom. :p

But really it has the desired effect for drama. Nice.

Actually no burning whatsoever. Mainly just shadows and highlights.
