August 20, 2016: Pan Am Railways operated the company office car train on the Fitchburg Line west toward Mechanicville, N.Y.
I made this view of the train passing through the crossovers at CP-AY in Ayer, Mass., before following the train west.
Yesterday, I reprocessed the original FujiFilm RAF RAW file using DxO PureRaw to see how this modern software could improve the image.
Below are some examples of the orignal file (scaled and saved as JPG) and after conversion to a DNG file.
The last image-pair is an adjusted variation of the DNG file intended to correct for exposure, contrast and color, while applying digital sharpening. Each photo is described in the captions.
