Five Photos!"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

And it\u2019s a was a very good Friday too. Years ago, Good Friday was a busy day on Irish Rail and there was lots to garner a photographer\u2019s attention. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to Railway Preservation Society of Ireland steam excursions, and \u2018extra\u2019 Friday-only passenger trains, Irish Rail tended to operate a lot of daylight freight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So on the morning of March 29, 2002, Hassard Stacpoole and I joined Paul Quinlan at Kildare for a foray to Cherryville Junction (where the Waterford Line joins the Dublin-Cork mainline) and spent the day rolling by the parade of trains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made most of my photos on Fujichrome slide film, but also exposed a roll of Fuji Neopan 400 black & white film in my Contax G2 rangefinder with a yellow filter.  I processed this in Agfa Rodinal Special (mixed 1-32) for 3 minutes 45 seconds at 20c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then after 18 years in an archival box, yesterday I decided to scan a few of the photos for presentation here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What may have passed as ordinary in 2002, now looks fascinating. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More to come from that day soon!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
