Clearing Yard sunset<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On July 1, 1995, I spent the day with Sean Graham-White who had organized a visit at Belt Railway of Chicago\u2019s sprawling Clearing Yard on the southside of Chicago in order to research a detailed article for Pacific RailNews.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the time, I was associate editor of the magazine and living in Waukesha, Wisconsin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toward the end of the day, I made this silhouette looking west using my Nikon F3T with 200mm f4.0 Nikkor telephoto. Kodachrome 200, was a grainy film that allowed me to use a faster shutter speed. Notice the plane on approach to Chicago’s Midway Airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The inspiration for this image was a photo exposed about 29 years earlier by John Gruber that had appeared on the cover of Trains Magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made a three-pass scan of this image last night using our recently refurbished Nikon LS-5000 slide scanner controlled by VueScan software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
