Last week, Conway Scenic Railroad temporarily evicted former Boston & Maine F7A 4268 from stall 4 at the North Conway, NH roundhouse where the locomotive has been undergoing an operational restoration by the 470 Club (that also owns sister F7A 4266 which is operational at CSRR).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saturday morning (November 21, 2020) brilliant late-autumn presented excellent light to photograph this relic of mid-20th<\/sup>\u00a0century dieselization. B&M 4268 was originally an EMD demonstrator and features the builder’s less-common \u2018passenger pilot\u2019, which makes it distinctive among B&M\u2019s F-unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made these photos using my FujiFilm X-T1 with recently acquired 16-55mm Fujinon lens. After exposure, I converted the camera-RAW files to DNG format using Iridient X-Transformer software, which does a more effective job of transforming these files for conversion by Adobe Lightroom, than either Lightroom itself or other image processing software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After conversion, I imported the DNG files into Lightroom and made some minor adjustments to color temperature, contrast, and highlight\/shadow detail plus saturation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below are examples of the in-camera FujiFilm JPG (using Velvia color profile, and a comparison DNG file converted from RAW using the Iridient software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All photos were then scaled and exported using Lightroom.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
