Yesterday on TTL, I featured Superliners and Searchlights at Sunset on the old Burlington. For today’s photo, I decided for a modern view of an ACS-64 passing a Color Position Light on the former Pennsylvania Railroad along Jefferson Drive at Greenfield in Lancaster, Pa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than 30 years separated the two images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To make the most of the modern image, I processed the Nikon NEF RAW file using DxO PureRaw, converting it to a DNG format which I then edited for color, contrast and exposure in Adobe LightRoom. This digital processing allowed me to make the most of image, including the brilliant green lights in the signal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My only regret with the modern photo is that I wish I’d released the shutter a split second sooner so that the front of the locomotive didn’t intersect with the signal post. Small complaint. I’ll go back an try again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
