It was Irish Rail’s final sugarbeet season, although no one knew it at the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We set up at Charleville Junction on the Dublin-Cork line on the Cork-side of Limerick Junction to catch V250, a laden train led by locomotive 081.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made this view on Fujichrome. It sat in a closet in Dublin for nearly 15 years and I only recently retrieved it from storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last night I scanned the slide using a Nikon LS-5000 slide scanner and then adjusted the hi-res TIF file using Adobe Lightroom to correct color temperature and color balance while making minor contrast and exposure corrections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below is the file before adjustment and after. In both images presented here, I scaled the files as JPGs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
