It was a bright morning. I had a comparatively late start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the new CT Rail suburban service began operations on the \u2018Hartford Line\u2019 (New Haven-Hartford-Springfield former New Haven Railroad line), I\u2019d been meaning to photograph one of the trains on the big bridge over the Connecticut River at Warehouse Point\/East Windsor-Windsor Locks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last summer the sun angles didn\u2019t suit the timetable, but now with a revised schedule and low winter sun, there are a variety of angles to be had.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working with my FujiFilm XT1 and 18-135mm zoom, I made these views of CT Rail 4405 just before 11am on December 12, 2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It helps to have a nice clear morning!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trailing view of the same train. By working with a zoom lens (variable focal length) I was able to rapidly adjust my perspective and expose several distinctive views of the same train as it crossed the bridge<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
