Yesterday afternoon Trains Magazine\u2019s Brian Schmidt collected me at Chicago\u2019s O\u2019Hare airport and we made our way to the Metra station at North Glenview, Illinois, where we intended to incept outward commuter train 2125.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As anticipated, this was led my Metra\u2019s recently painted Milwaukee Road heritage locomotive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the blue glow of dusk settled over North Glenview, the northward 2125 came into view, its oscillating light drawing a figure eight in the evening gloom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working with my Lumix LX7 and FujiFilm XT1 digital cameras, I exposed a series of photographs as the train made its station stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are a few of my FujiFilm XT1 and Lumix LX7 digital photos. To make the most of dusk, I\u2019d set the while balance to \u2018daylight\u2019, while taking a low angle to make the unusually painted locomotive seem more dramatic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
