The view  west presented the shadowy wall of an Alpine ridge, accentuated by patches of snow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the final golden solar rays of this January day graced the rails, I made a series of Fujichrome slides of an \u00d6BB Bombardier-built Talent railcar on its eastward journey across the Inn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;d borrowed a Canon EF75-300mm lens from Denis, and used this with my Canon EOS-3 camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other night, I scanned some of these slides using a Nikon LS-5000 scanner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
