Headed for the post office to pick up the mail this afternoon and spotted this train coming across the field. So I grabbed the camera and snapped this photo....

Sounds easy, no? The description's a bit misleading, as the camera was set up to take photographs more or less in the dark--which definitely doesn't describe this photograph. I was able to recover the image, as you see, but it was pushing my processing skills.

After slaving over the computer for a while I had an acceptable color image--albeit a bit washed out--because the camera and its new lens are pretty good at capturing detail. But it looks better in monochrome, so that's what you get.

It blows up rather nicely, by the way.

A couple Dash-8 40CWs pulling a train of mostly tank cars around the Marysville (Michigan) power plant. We'd been following it down the road when it crossed over and blocked the way.

We waited, of course.

7913 & 7768 are the numbers on the locomotives. I regard myself as a recovering railfan, an affliction I consider an addiction.

Port Huron, Michigan.

Paper mill with GT(!) locomotive on the left, a family in the middle, and the Ken Boothe Sr/Lakes Contender tug/barge on the St Clair River. Not to mention a bit of the big bridge.

And Lake Huron hiding out there in the fog.
