In the dim early hours of September 9, 1995, I spotted Wisconsin Central\u2019s recently acquired former Santa Fe FP45 leading a southward train through Duplainville, Wisconsin.<\/p>\n

Normally I walked to work. I lived just a few blocks from the Pentrex Publishing offices on Grand Avenue. That morning, twenty years ago today<\/em>, I’d been prowling around in my Mazda looking for angle to photograph the Wisconsin Central.<\/p>\n

WC\u2019s FP45 6652 was a one of a kind, and a prize to be scored! When I saw that engine roll across the diamonds at Duplainville, \u00a0knew I\u2019d be a little late to my desk.<\/p>\n

WC freights tended to roll along, and chasing was difficult.<\/p>\n

However, this southward freight had to make a meet at Vernon, south of Waukesha. The resulting delay was both long enough for me to make a swift drive on country roads to Burlington, Wisconsin, and for the sun to rise high enough to expose Kodachrome.<\/p>\n

\"Exposed<\/a>
Exposed on Kodachrome 25 with a Nikon F3T fitted with a Nikkor f1.8 105mm. Bright clear September sun was on my side, and my exposure was f4.5 1\/250.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I set up in the park on the east side of the tracks. The Canadian Geese in the pond were an unanticipated bonus.<\/p>\n
