It seems like every time I board a plane for far away shores the Pan Am office car special sneaks out.<\/p>\n

Not this year!<\/p>\n

Yesterday, February 15, 2016, I had the rare opportunity to catch Pam Am Railways vintage FP9s on the roll. The trip was working east from Mechanicville, New York on the old Boston & Maine Fitchburg line.<\/p>\n

\"Pan<\/a>
Pan Am Railways’ office car special works east at Eagle Bridge on February 15, 2016. We’ll have to wait for the broadside view;\u00a0it’s on Fujichrome! (film). Incidentally, I’ve applied the Lee graduated neutral density filter technique to this image. There’s just a touch of filtration at the top of the frame. (See last week’s Battenkill post for details. And just to tie the posts\u00a0together, the tracks in the foreground are Battenkill’s.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Working with three cameras, I made dozens of images. The latent gem is the F\u2019s broadside passing the old Eagle Bridge, New York station.<\/p>\n

Until last week, I hadn\u2019t visited Eagle Bridge in years. Now I\u2019ve been there twice in less than a week. Funny how that works.<\/p>\n

\"Pan<\/a>
Pan Am’s OCS at North Pownal, Vermont. The temperature was a balmy 22 degrees F. Warm!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"A<\/a>
A reported broken rail near Soapstone had the train moving at walking pace.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\"Electro-Motive<\/a>
Electro-Motive F-units are great to pan. 1\/60th of second gives the sense of motion while retaining a sense of place.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

All the photos here were exposed using my FujiFilm X-T1 digital camera. Contrast and saturation were nominally adjusted in Lightroom.<\/p>\n
