Classic Kodachrome.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

On the evening of November 23, 1992, I was poised to photograph the action on Amtrak\u2019s Northeast Corridor at Grace interlocking at Havre de Grace, Maryland.<\/p>\n

I was interested in this angle specifically to use the glint light shortly before sunset. Kodachrome film had an exceptional ability to capture detail in the extreme contrast of sunset situations.<\/p>\n

Although it had been a clear day, there was plenty of particulates in the air from tens of thousands of automobiles driving I-95 and adjacent roads. Almost invisible to the eye, this pollution acts as a reddish orange filter and changing the quality of sunlight toward the long end of the spectrum. Kodachrome with its red-bias amplified this effect while its great dynamic range maintained excellent detail in highlight areas.<\/p>\n

Working with my Nikon F3T and f1.8 105mm Nikkor lens, I had only a few minutes before the sun disappeared behind the trees at the right.<\/p>\n

Moments before the light changed, a late-running Florida train bound to Penn Station, New York glided into the scene with a 1970s-era E60CH electric in the lead. Perfect!<\/p>\n

I made a couple exposures as the train passed.<\/p>\n
