Western Railroad Discussion > couple more before I hit the rack

As I plod along rebuilding my Master RR Image files from the external back-up I keep tossing Low Light “candidate” images into a new file. Even with this image taken to posting status, I now have 157 images in there. And I’m only an estimated 15% of the way through with this colossal task.

I’ve posted this image in 2 versions. I thought the editing of the normal color version came out a bit underwhelming, so I decided to convert it to B/W and enhance the contrast. Keep in mind I very rarely convert color to B/W for posting. But I kinda like the result. What do you think...

1a. Amtrak train #4, the “Southwest Chief” during its station stop at Lamar, CO on August 22, 2015.

1b. Same image, converted to black & white

Thanks for picking!

B&W works for me!  I came over to the Western board looking for info on the Laguna Pueblo derailment, but I caught one of your cool passenger train shots instead!

Very artsy!

Like the color better because cute little lights on side of cars show up as YELLOW while stopped. B&W is also good.

Nice color shot, Lance!
