I thought in the heat of high summer, it might be a refreshing time to present some frosty views from last January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously, I\u2019d posted some black & white photos exposed during a lake effect snow squall at Brookfield, Wisconsin on CP Rail\u2019s former Milwaukee Road main line that I\u2019d made on a photographic adventure with Trains Magazine\u2019s Brian Schmidt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That same morning, I\u2019d also worked in color using my FujiFilm XT1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a view of a westward empty grain train passing the old Brookfield station led by brightly painted BNSF GE\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s a stark contrast from the leafy trees and high summer temperatures of today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To best expose this photo, I manually set the exposure by metering the side of the station. This provided a balanced exposure despite the difficult snowy conditions.

The lead locomotives might be BNSF, but the train was CP Rail’s. In effort to show the true ownership of the railroad, I made this view of CP Rail hoppers passing the old Milwaukee Road station.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
