Between Huntingdon and Tyrone, Pa., the old Pennsylvania Railroad Middle Division follows a path carved by the Little Juniata River.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By contrast, we took a more direct route by driving west via Routes 22 and 453. This allowed us to get well ahead of the westward Norfolk Southern freight that we rolled by at Huntingdon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On arrival at Tyrone, an eastward NS intermodal was approaching, Kris photographed this from the window of the car with her Fuji X-T4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With time to spare, I set up for a dynamic view of the westward train, exposed from a postion on the Amtrak platform using my Nikon Z6 with 24-70mm zoom. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve included two versions of the photo that exhibit varying degrees of post processing to make the most of the image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m on the fence on this photo. I also exposed a color slide using my F3 with an f2.0 135mm telephoto. I’ll be curious to see how this came out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Uncrossed version with only moderate post processing changes. Exposed at 70mm f4 1\/1000 sec.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This version exhibits a variety of changes to the original file, including the selective cropping to eliminate the sky and make the most of autumn foliage. Both photos were processed from the same Nikon NEF RAW file. I think I like the top (uncropped) version better.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Getting to Tyrone was on the day’s agenda, and here we had a more elusive quarry to capture. The NS trains were just a bonus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay tuned . . . <\/p>\n\n\n\n
