On August 13, 1994, I traveled with Mike Danneman to the Mississippi River. At East Dubuque, Illinois we caught up with a Chicago Central & Pacific coal train working eastbound on the old Illinois Central.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mike was familiar with the territory and after making a few photos on the joint Burlington Northern-CC&P line, we drove to Galena to catch the train working up grade out of the Mississippi Valley. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weather was less than ideal; a ‘heavy’ summer’ afternoon\u2014hot humid and overcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working with my Nikon F3T and f4 200mm lens, I made this view of the train crawling by the old Illinois Central station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As previously described on Tracking the Light, Kodachrome 25 slide film had a cyan to red color bias (cyan when fresh, red when aged).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To correct for the cyan tint and adjust contrast, I imported the scan into Adobe Lightroom for a few nominal corrections. Below are scaled Jpgs from both the uncorrected and corrected files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
