Not every railroad photo is the result of a complicated quest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On a sunny Sunday, we paused at Dunkin’ Donuts in Norfolk, Mass., for coffee. I noticed when I looked across the parking lot, there was clear view of the old New York & New England main line from Boston to Franklin\u2014today the route of MBTA’s Franklin Line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On weekdays the lot would be filled with cars, but on this day it was empty. Hmmmm . . . <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, while waiting for the coffee to be prepared, I checked the MBTA app on my phone. Lucky me, outbound MBTA train 2703 to Forge Village was only minutes away! I brought the coffees to Kris who was waiting in the car, and grabed my Lumix LX3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Below are my results. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I offer two versions of the same image that reflect fundamental differences in postprocessing (detailed discussion for another post).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
