Kris Sabbatino and me into action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We drove post haste through Monson, as the northward freight was approaching the &#8216;Monson Tunnel&#8217; (Route 32 underpass at Academy Hill), and selected a spot well ahead of the train where the morning sun provided excellent illumination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I made these two views using my Nikon Z6 with 24-70mm lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After exposure, I imported the NEF (RAW) files into Adobe Lightroom where I re-profiled the color and contrast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
