Cobh Junction on 11 May 2000. Nikon N90S with Fujichrome Sensia II (100 ISO).<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Nineteen Years ago, I was traveling with Denis McCabe and Tony Gray to photograph Railway Preservations Society of Ireland\u2019s annual \u2018Two Day Tour\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We stopped along the N25 opposite the water from Cobh, Junction, Glounthaune, Cork, where I used a telephoto lens to expose this view of former Great Northern Railway (Ireland) steam locomotive 171 hauling Irish Rail Cravens carriages on a trip to Cobh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time, an overcast day photo of 171 working tender first didn\u2019t excite me much, and I left this slide with the other \u2018seconds\u2019 from that trip<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, in May of this year (2019)\u2014almost 19 years to the day after I exposed the photo\u2014I rediscovered this slide. It was still in the original box in which it was returned to me from the lab. Time has improved my photo and I think it\u2019s pretty neat now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I scanned it using an Epson V750 Pro flat bed scanner and processed the file using Lightroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
