Does it have a be real? Or even a real model? This is a laser ray-traced rendering I did a few years ago of a proposed layout scene based loosely on Galveston. Russel Straw's picture made me think of it. I have finally started on the Galveston causeway scene for the layout, but not the scene in the night rendering.
Maybe I need to check that topic out.... Not toally dark, as you can see the sun, but it was snowing so hard at East Portal last friday, that it was nearly dark...
Kodachrome 64, tripod, cable release, Cannon AE-1, F 5.6 I think. Exposures varied. Ohhh! and the planets lined up that night! Poughkeepsie, NY. August 1989. [ January 02, 2006, 09:43 PM: Message edited by: Don Rickle ]
Amtrak eastbound Crescent leaves Birmingham, AL in the shadows of a fall sunset. Not dark yet, but will be soon.
Conrail Campbell Hall NY Local. (1989). Hey BOXCAB! This engineer was a former NYO&W engineer! From what I was told. This is his handy work. Same Place.
Colonel, I'll dig some more up for you. This is the power for the Amarillo TX -Waynoka OK local tied up for the night at Waynoka, OK. August 17, 1997.
A bit blurry. Sunset on BNSF @ Woodward, OK. Sept 07, 1997 I wish there had been lit signals in this one. Curtis Hill near Heman,OK 08/16/97. Lights of EB BNSF freight in foreground. The light in the background is an auto. Train is down grade. Shot from bluff or bute or messa.
Chicago Union Station. January 15, 1990. A tricky place to shoot with bright lights and dark shawdows. Exposure will be off somewhere.
More light streaks. Northeast Corridor. October 25, 1998. My notes indicate that this is east (north) of New Haven, Connecticut. The catenary is new and not yet operational. These are two Amtrak trains powered by F40s. I do remember these diesel trains were FAST ! [ January 05, 2006, 02:11 PM: Message edited by: Don Rickle ]
