Here\u2019s a classic from my Kodachrome file: Southern Pacific SD40T-2 8378 West ascending Beaumont Hill on the Sunset Route at Cabazon, California on January 30, 1994.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I had Kodachrome 25 loaded in my Nikon F3T, which was fitted with an f5.6 Tokina 400mm lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My focus point was not on the front of the locomotive, but rather on the searchlight signal to the right of the train. Since the signal was the emphasis of the photo, you may wonder why I didn\u2019t move a little closer to make it appear larger. The reason is simple: I wanted to include the \u2018Cabazon\u2019 sign on the signal relay cabinet, which identifies the location and was key to the interlocking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just in case you are curious, the second locomotive in the train consist is a Conrail SD40-2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
