We were visiting the California Tehachapis four years ago. After more than two decades absence, it was my second trip there in as many weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At sunset, I positioned myself at the famous Bealville grade crossing, where I photographed a passing Union Pacific intermodal train (historically on Southern Pacific this would have been an eastward train, but my notes from the day indicate that it was a \u2018southbound\u2019.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working with my FujiFilm XT1, I made a series of photos. Two variations of one of the head on views are presented here. One is the in-camera Jpg, the other is an adjusted image the I made in Lightroom from the Fuji RAW file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adjusted RAW file; contrast and color balance was altered to improve the appearance of the image.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The last image is a trailing view showing the signal and grade crossing gates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My monthly column in September 2020 Trains Magazine features a photo that I made near this same crossing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
