On that hazy evening in Palmer, Mass., last week, I made several classic nocturnal locomotive portraits of New England Central GP40-2L 3015 that has been painted to honor America’s veterans and service members.
During the course of switching, this sharp looking locomotive paused for a few minutes. Thick haze contributed to the laser-like beams of the locomotive headlights.
I made these images with my Nikon Z7-II firmly mounted on a 3Pod tripod.

On these long summer evenings, the sun sets to the north of Amtrak’s Harrisburg Line along Jefferson Drive at Greenfield near Lancaster, PA.
Kris and I pulled over to watchAmtrak Keystone 618 glide east as it caught the evening glint. Running cab car first, this trainhad a pleasant surprise for us at the back: Amtrak ACS-64 642 specially painted to honor American Veterans.
My Nikon Z6 has a rapid burst exposure setting that exposes a sequence of images in quick succession which allowed me to catch this ununally painted locomotive on the move.
