074 drumming along at Stacumni Bridge

On this day in 2017, I photographed Irish Rail 074, wearing the black & silver freight livery, leading a down IWT Liner from Dublin’s North Wall.

This view is on the short stretch Irish Rail quad track near Stacumni Bridge on the the Cork Line. The accepted spelling of this classic location varies an it is often spelled as ‘Stacumny’ in modern media.

I was working with my FujiFilm XT1 fitted with a Fujinon 90mm prime telephoto.

Recently, I converted the original RAF RAW file into DNG format using PureRaw and made a series of small adjustements in Lightroom to improve the appearance of the photo. [Scaled and compressed for internet presentation.]

Irish Rail class 071 diesel number 074 leads the down IWT Liner at Stacumni Bridge near Hazel Hatch, Co. Kildare on August 28, 2017.
