I walked up to the station at Port Clinton, Pennsylvania to photograph the arrival of locomotive 2102 from North Reading on its journey to Jim Thorpe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I felt like a wee plastic man on a really big HO-scale railroad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Back lit lighting made for dramatic images, but then required a bit of contrast control and selective lightening for final presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I made these photos using my Nikon Z6 with 24-70mm zoom lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the train arrived to pick up passengers, I walked back to the grade crossing near the village of Port Clinton to photograph the thundering departure of this magnificent machine.
