Another photo from my Classic Chrome files.

I exposed this Kodachrome 25 slide on February 25, 1995 at Highlands, Illinois, on the famous Burlington triple-track raceway.

Amtrak No. 6, the eastward California Zephyr, was on its final lap to reach Chicago Union Station.

I was working with my old Nikon F3T fitted with an f4.0 200mm lens. The secret to this photo was my notebook, which I used as a lens shade to control flare, thus making the glint effect more dramatic.

Another key element of the image was my choice of focus, which I set on the signal bridge, which is the secondary subject and a important part of the composition.

I scanned the slide using a Nikon LS5000 slide scanner.
