While a few of these photos have appeared in my books, most have sat for more than 20 years unattended and unedited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This slide caught my eye. It shows a westward VIA Rail train west of Coteau, Quebec on the Canadian National. This was a trailing shot that I exposed on Fujichrome using my old Contax G2 rangefinder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Comcolor in Springfield, Mass., processed the film. and I scanned the slide yesterday using a Nikon Coolscan 5000 (LS-5000) powered by Vuescan 9.8.42.05 software, then made final adjustments using Adobe Lightroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img
