Red Electric in Soft Sun Light.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Thunderstorms had blown through earlier in the afternoon. Then the sun beamed. All the while Netherlandse Spoorwagen\u2019s double-track north-south mainline south of Dordrecht<\/a> was saturated with an unceasing parade of trains. (See my earlier post:\u00a0Netherlandse Spoorwagen Koploper near Dordrecht Zuid, Septemeber 2013<\/a>).<\/p>\n

NS keeps trains flowing one after another, and doesn\u2019t seem to have any qualms about running freight tightly between passenger trains. I found that about every half hour a freight would be slotted in.<\/p>\n

I made this photograph with my Canon EOS 7D with f2.8 200mm lens, set at ISO 400 f 4.5 at 1\/1000th of a second. In post-processing, I made minor adjustments to contrast and saturation to match how I perceived the light at the moment of exposure.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This was one of the last exposures I made before sundown. A former Netherlandse Spoorwagen electric leads a southward Deutsche Bahn<\/a> freight. While I\u2019d seen several of these classic electrics on the move, this was the only one I caught in nice light hauling freight.<\/p>\n
