NI Railways had a minimalist presence in Derry, Northern Ireland when I visited there on 5 April 2002.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The railway station consisted of a 1960s-era bus shelter style building and a single platform serving two tracks, situated flush with the River Foyle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made these photos while boarding an NIR 80-class railcar bound for Belfast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My camera was a rugged Contax G2 Rangefinder fitted with 45mm Zeiss Planar lens and loaded with Kodak Tri-X black & white film. I used a red filter to alter the black & white tonality and boost contrast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me the film’s contrast and stark spring lighting was well-suited to the minimalist railway infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
