In August 2003, I exposed this photo of an Irish Rail ballast train at Tipperary that was in the passing loop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time I was working with a Rolleiflex Model T that used 120 size roll film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was using Kodak Tri-X (400 ISO) that I processed in Ilfotec HC and toned in Selenium to improve the highlights. I scanned the photo last night using an Epson V600 flatbed scanner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is an amazing amount of detail in this photo. I’ve enlarged one small section of it as an example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time Irish Rail class 141 number 169 was one of the last locomotives operating with the old ‘IR’ logo, a herald remarkably similar to the Portuguese Railways logo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
