Warm sunny summer mornings are very pleasant. However with the warm weather comes rapid plant growth which can complicate railroad photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take for example these views that I made at Vernon, Vermont at the end of June, 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New England Central\u2019s 611 crew was taking Brattleboro-Palmer turn southbound with locomotive 3476 in the lead (a one upon a time EMD SD45 re-built to a SD40-2\/\u2019SD40-3\u2019 configuration.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To get a bit of elevation, I scaled a mound on the east side of the line, near the grade crossing at the switch for the old power plant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I liked the cows grazing in the nearby field, so working with my Canon EOS-7D with 200mm lens, I made a distant view. Unfortunately for the, the brush had grown so much that it seems like the freight is emerging from the undergrowth!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also made a few photos with a FujiFilm XT1 and 27mm pancake lens. Of these, the more distant view seems to work better from a compositional standpoint. SD45 enthusiasts make argue otherwise!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
