Virginia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Photographer Pat Yough and I had traveled by train to Virginia to capture this event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the steam locomotive, I made photographs of the more ordinary train on the move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Working with my Canon EOS-3, I pictured this Virginia Railway Express commuter train on Provia 100F color slide film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last week, I scanned this slide using a Nikon CoolScan5000 slide scanner and processed the high-resolution TIF file using Adobe Lightroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From an historical perspective I wonder how many photos were made of this lowly commuter train in comparison to the streamlined steam locomotive?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"474\"
