In July 1995, Sean Graham-White organized for him us to research a story about the Belt Railway of Chicago’s expansive Clearing Yard. We spent two days with the aid of an assistant train master photographing and taking detailed notes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time I was an Associate Editor of Pacific RailNews, and the story appeared in the magazine later that year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among the dozens of color slides I exposed was this view showing a collection of antique Electro-Motive diesels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a hot, humid summer’s afternoon, and the light was something less than ideal for Kodachrome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve scanned and digitally processed this slide to make the most of the image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This included considerable color correction and contrast adjustment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is the scaled, but unadjusted scan; the Adobe Lightroom work window showing the degree of some adjustments to the original scan, and my final adjusted output. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
