April 13, 2019: I traveled on Railway Preservation Society of Ireland’s The West Awake<\/em> rail tour that operated on Irish Rail from Dublin to Claremorris, Ballina and Westport, Co Mayo and featured rare multiple-unit operation of 071 class diesels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I made these views using a FujiFilm XT1 mirrorless digital camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fuji’s built-in color profiles provided excellent color and contrast for the soft directional lighting characteristic of the West of Ireland. I made minor adjustments to color and contrast in post processing that effectively tweaked the images for improved appearance here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
