I’m speaking about my Nikkor f2.5 105mm and the famous trestle, and not about a radio station and a monster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After returning from Ireland, I made a trip to inspect the former Maine Central Mountain Division to check out photo locations for the 470 Club Trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, I’d hiked into the Frankenstein bridge to see when the sun dipped behind the ridge shadowing the tracks. Owing to the high ridge line the bridge will shadow very quickly on a late fall afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The eastward Mountaineer <\/em>was just minutes away when I arrived. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I fitted my old AI Nikkor 105mm to my Nikon Z6 digital camera. This is a magic combination for railroad photography which produced exceptionally sharp photos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yesterday, I posted a modified version of this image to Conway Scenic Railroad’s Facebook page and assigned it as the cover photo. It will also be used in late season advertising for the Mountaineer.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conway Scenic Railroad’s Mountaineer is eastbound on Frakenstein Bridge. New Hampshire’s famed Mount Washington is seen in the distance to the right of bridge.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This is a cropped and much enlarged section of the above image to demonstrate the sharpness of my old 105mm.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
