funny how the no nos get into processing software.
A friend suggested to me that I write software that will remove graffiti from railcar photographs. Right.
Post your Train shots!

Nice picture Sandpatch. I think with some patience you could clone out that shadow, although it looks like a very good picture to me as taken. For the graffiti you'll need to use the wayback machine to travel to a time when railcars weren't painted by vandals to look like circus trains.

Doesn't Nikon make a lens for that.
I admire you for getting out to snare something with the Fuji. I live in an area with lines that don't see a lot of heavy rail traffic, so it gets frustrating sometimes. Reaching back, here's a Kodachrome taken October 1996 in Palmer Lake, CO on the very busy "Joint Line" between Denver and Pueblo that serves the BNSF and UP today.
Yes I'm lucky to have some busy lines not too very far away from me. Although Wednesday wasn't a good day for finding trains moving. In the picture I posted that train was moving at a walking pace which seemed odd for that line. Drove through downtown Delaware & found the same train waiting in the hole. That didn't make sense because it is a 2 track main line. I drove up to Marion & found the reason why. A maintenance crew was working on the NS portion of the diamond. Trains stacked up to the north & south.
Another great shot from your waybac machine. :encouragement:
Brightline train to test in WPB area next week. Testing on nine miles of track from Okeechobee in to Lantana. Off this week not next. Anyone in that area going to be able to get shots.

I took this, this morning in the middle of the UofL campus, using a new window camera mount.

I saw a scanner that would scan an entire sleeve. Just load them and it does the work. It is pricey, but once you are done, it can be sold. I have a scanner that scans four slides at a time, it goes fast once you get it set up. My plan is to get the trays I have scanned in the next few months.It'd be great to see your slides. After a lot of deliberation, I've chosen to retire at year's end and I'll have some time to get serious about buying a scanner and getting down to it. I figure that I'll be done when I'm 115 Years Old.
The Epson V600 scans 4 Slides at a time and costs $200. Epson V800 scans 12 Slides at a time at even better quality, but costs $640. I grimace at spending over three times the price for the V800, but it might be worth it for productivity's sake.
Have a great retirement.
Found several old lost prints yesterday while looking for something else, all shot with my Nikkormat FTn when I was young. My brother and I shared a darkroom in the basement, so it was easy to crank out 8x10s. These have survived the years pretty well.
Elgin, Joliet & Eastern's Train No. 6 south of Barrington, IL, taken 05/03/1977. The locomotives are orange with silver trucks. Sure wish I could have afforded Kodachrome back then!
C&NW power at Barrington, IL on a bitter cold 12/22/1976:
Former DL&W mu cars at Hoboken, NJ. Not certain of the date, but I'm guessing it's the summer of '76:

Brightline West Palm Beach Station.
From the NE.
From the south.
Took a drive to WPB in hopes of catching the new train. It was under cover at the repair facility. Not a total waste got some shot of the new WPB station downtown. Very similar to the one in Ft Lauderdale only with what looks to be office area on west side.

Sandpatch- What a great set of images. I love the B&W, reminds me of my old darkroom. Mixing pixels is so much easier now & no D76 needed. layful:
Needa- That is a really cool station. If you'd have told me it was a spaceship landing port I'd have believed you. Futuristic for sure.
Here is a southbound intermodal at the diamonds in Marion Ohio.
