On March 31, 2021, I joined Conway Scenic’s ‘Work Extra 573’ that departed North Conway, NH in the morning to open the Mountain Division over Crawford Notch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was the first train over Crawford Notch since last November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this view west of the siding at Sawyers, the train has stopped for the crew to remove fallen branches that had fouled the gauge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I exposed the above photo using my FujiFilm XT-1 with 16-55mm Fujinon zoom, and converted the RAW file to DNG format using Iridient X-transformer. I then adjusted this file with Adobe Lightroom to bring in sky detail, lighten shadows, reduce contrast, and improve color saturation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the course of the day-long trip, I exposed more than 300 individual photos using two cameras, while recording more than an hour of video for the company archives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
