Victorville and Cajon Pass Last Saturday
Author: erielackawanna

Was out and about with some friends last Saturday and managed to get some long sought after shots. To start, after having got stuck my last time trying to get to Hill 582, made it this time and caught a lot of trains. Sharing two, a UP stacker and a BNSF (passing a BNSF heading to LA).

Third image is the Cemex train to the River Plant. Just a wedgie, but I've wanted this shot for years.

Next three shots are a bit more artsy-fartsy. First is the Cemex train in the wash heading towards Victorville.

Fifth image is of a westbound at the black bridges

Finally, a silhouette of a Quality Roseville at Verdemont.

Thanks for sharing a very nice series. Nice composition on the Black Bridges shot, but that last one is IOTD material.

Nice silhouette! Is that an 86' hy-cube behind the power? It looks so smooth in the silhouette.

It's a full lumber car.

I should have thought of that, not enough of an overhang over the couplers for hy-cube. An interesting silhouette!

How large of a lens, or how tight of a crop did you do? Thats a huge sun, even with the over exposure near the sun itself.
Great shot, very well done.

Thank you so much to all for the kind words!

Charles


Oh - the silhouette was a 90mm on an APS size sensor. I exposed for the hill below, held the exposure and then shot at the sun. Then in PS I pulled the exposure back the other way, as if exposing for the sun. This caused the area around the sun to be the only part overexposed.

Nice work, Charles! I like the image of the truss bridges, with one larger than the other it tells the story of one bridge then two.
