October 1, 2004: in time-honored fashion, I followed a westward Guilford Rail System freight from the yard at East Deerfield to the east portal of the Hoosac Tunnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The river valleys were filled with autumn mist. I arrived at the grade crossing near the tunnel portal several minutes ahead of the freight (symbol WARJ). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the roar of the EMD diesels grew closer, morning sun began to clear the mist making for cosmic lighting effects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I exposed a series of Fujichrome slides using a Nikon F3 fitted with f2.8 180mm lens. I calculated my exposure manually using a Minolta Mark4 light meter, as I typically did with the F3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I scanned these slides last night using an Epson V600 scanner with Epson Scan 2 software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
