Chris S General Awesome all-EMD head end! 2/20/2010 8:45:34 AM
William H. Davis Jr. General Thanks Chris, Not the perfect light I prefer for this shot. I couldn't find anywhere to film this train with the perfect light I prefer. The train just ran too late in the day for the northbound direction it was running. The line is geograpically east/west which makes it difficult to shoot northbounds around lunchtime and after. I did the best I could with the light I had. I tried to get more of a broadside shot since I had very little if any noselight 2/20/2010 8:55:04 AM
Alex Vaughn General Nice shot! Looks like #6704 had a little run-in with something on the nose. 2/21/2010 9:56:57 AM
William H. Davis Jr. General Thanks Alex, You're right my friend, the 6704 has definitely had a run in with something 2/21/2010 7:28:25 PM
Bernie Feltman General The lighting actually sets off the long-hood and accents the damage on the short hood 2/21/2010 10:59:54 PM
William H. Davis Jr. General Glad you & others like the shot anyway. I prefer the nose, side, & trucks be lit on every shot, but sometimes you have to take what you can get. It's difficult to have that perfect light all day 2/22/2010 9:47:35 AM
Stephen Brock General I really like the shot as well and for many of the reasons listed above! Thanks for posting! 2/24/2010 8:05:15 AM
