On the evening of Easter Sunday 1988, I visited the old Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburgh station and yard at East Salamanca, New York.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CSXT was still a relatively new railroad, and this southward freight from Buffalo featured former Baltimore & Ohio GP40\/GP40-2s painted for CSXT component Chessie System but with CSXT sublettering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CSXT was in the process of spinning off it\u2019s former BR&P trunk to Genesee & Wyoming start up Buffalo & Pittsburgh. I was anticipating the change, but the sale was still several months away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made a series of Kodachrome 25 slides of the train changing crews at dusk using my Leica M2 with 50mm Summicron firmly mounted on a tripod. Unfortunately, I miscalculated the exposure and my slides are about one stop too dark. This one was made at f4 at \u00bc second. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of my problem was that my Sekonic Studio Deluxe lightmeter wasn\u2019t accurate in low light. Another issue was that I didn\u2019t compensate for reprocity failure, which was a characteristic of Kodachrome films in low light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I scanned this K25 slide with a Nikon LS-5000 scanner using VueScan software which enabled a multiple pass scan to maximize data capture of highlights and shadows. I imported the high-res (4000 dpi) scan into Lightroom and adjusted the file to compensate for underexposure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
