In November 2005, Translink NI Railways<\/a> (operator of railway services in Northern Ireland) was in a transitional phase equipment-wise. New 3001 class railcars had been recently introduced, yet many of the older 80-class and Castle class railcars were still on the move.<\/p>\n

I drove to Belfast from Dublin, and spent two days riding around on NIR trains making photographs. For the most part the days were sunny and brisk.<\/p>\n

At that time of year, the sun in the northern latitudes tends to stay relative close to the horizon throughout the day, which can result in a stark contrasty light.<\/p>\n

These images were exposed on Fujichrome at Coleraine, where the Port Rush branch diverges from the Belfast-Derry\/Londonderry line.<\/p>\n

Like NIR, I too was undergoing an equipment transition; I\u2019d just recently bought a Canon EOS 3, but was still using my older Nikon F3T and N90S for many photographs.<\/p>\n
