The long days of summer offer a rare opportunity to catch Genesee & Wyoming’s St. Lawrence & Atlantic through freights in daylight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last Friday, 25 June 2021, my fianc\u00e9 Kris Sabbatino and I drove to Locke Miles, Maine, east of Bethel, where we set up along South Pond to wait for the westward freight, job 393.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The light was fading when we finally heard a distant whistle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our friend Andrew Dale had been keeping us updated as to the trains’s westward progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made this image of the leading locomotives reflecting in South Pond using my Nikon Z6 mirrorless digital camera. I set the ISO to 800, the aperture to f4.0 (my widest setting), and the shutter speed to 1\/100th of a second.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the train passed we pursued it West into the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
