The sun had set on Amtrak’s Sunset Limited before we arrived at Houston, Texas last week.
This was the end of my most recent Amtrak journey.
These days catching a 800-series Amtrak P40 working a long distance train is a rare find! I was delighted to make a few photos of this antique when we arrived at Houston, having traveled behind it from New Orleans.
Amtrak 45 and 837 lead train number 1, the Sunset Limited at Houston, Texas.
The Sunset at night. Notice the classic private cars to the left of Amtrak. Tom Kline reports that these are owned by Patrick Henry who runs this company h ttp://www.phcp.com/index.html The cars are named for Patrick’s dad and mom.
I made these photos with my FujiFilm XT1 with 12mm Zeiss Touit set at ISO 3200.
Shutter speed was about 1/13thof a second.
I made some minor adjustments to shadow and highlight detail in post processing.
Those are private passenger cars are owned by Patrick Henry.
What cars are in a distance from your Photo position of Amtrak.?
Antique! i was working at GE Erie when these were rolled out! If that’s an antique what does that make me?
Oh.
