Steam & Excursion > UP 2-8-2 1924 at Ogden, Beyond PhotoshopDate: 01/22/12 13:58 UP 2-8-2 1924 at Ogden, Beyond Photoshop Author: donstrack Here's kind of a heartbreaking negative, with a tear that has proven to be beyond my skills with Photoshop. I can almost hide it, but even in the fixed version (deleted), you can still that there's something there.
UP 2-8-2 no. 1924, at Ogden, Utah, September 29, 1957, photo by Vic Oberhansley. Don Strack  Date: 01/22/12 14:03 Re: UP 2-8-2 1924 at Ogden, Beyond Photoshop Author: steam290 donstrack Wrote:

> Very cool photo anyway. I agree. The tear doesn't really detract, actually. Date: 01/22/12 14:14 Re: UP 2-8-2 1924 at Ogden, Beyond Photoshop Author: Panamerican99 The tear line in the foreground is pretty easy to fix but the valve gear area would require blowing it up so you can do a pixel by pixel repair and that would take some time.
Even so, as others have said, this is a nice picture. -JH Date: 01/22/12 14:17 Re: UP 2-8-2 1924 at Ogden, Beyond Photoshop Author: steam290 Here is a really quick attempt... like Panamerican said, in order to really get the crosshead looking right, you'd have to do it pixel at a time. It's a great photo, and thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing! Dan in Wichita Date: 01/22/12 16:25 Re: UP 2-8-2 1924 at Ogden, Beyond Photoshop Author: Bob3985 Great job of photoshopping for a grand old workhorse. Thanks Don for posting this to start with. These were the early workhorses of the mainlines, eventually relegated to branchs and yard switchers. Sort of like the SD40s of the steam days.

Date: 01/22/12 17:37 Re: UP 2-8-2 1924 at Ogden, Beyond Photoshop Author: tomstp For a railroad with lots of grades in the west I always wondered why a lot of their engines had small sand domes.

Thanks, Jim Date: 01/23/12 18:52 Re: UP 2-8-2 1924 at Ogden, Beyond Photoshop Author: up833 Union Pacific MK-7 class 2-8-2 #2537 was built for the UP subsidiary "Oregon Short Line" by Alco in 1917. It was donated to the City of Walla Walla in 1959.
Roger B Date: 01/23/12 19:20 Re: UP 2-8-2 1924 at Ogden, Beyond Photoshop Author: KD7ZST I believe that the #2005 in Pocatello is of the same class as the #1924. The only major difference: the #2005 burned coal.

Date: 01/23/12 21:29 Re: UP 2-8-2 1924 at Ogden, Beyond Photoshop Author: nycman According to Drury, 2005 is indeed a MK-1, as is 1924, built by Baldwin in 1911. 2564 is a MK-10, built by Brooks in 1921. He does not show 2537 at all on his list of UP locos.

Don Strack Date: 01/24/12 08:23 Re: UP 2-8-2 1924 at Ogden, Beyond Photoshop Author: steam290 Here is my second shot at fixing it in photoshop. The purple band proved a bit of a problem, but I was able to eliminate the crack.
 Date: 01/24/12 13:53 Re: UP 2-8-2 1924 at Ogden, Beyond Photoshop Author: nycman Guide to North American Steam Locomotives, by George Drury. Kalbach publication. "History and development of steam power since 1900." Including railroad-by-railroad histories and rosters. A great reference book.
Date: 01/25/12 19:04 Re: UP 2-8-2 1924 at Ogden, Beyond Photoshop Author: 4-12-2 Agreed, a great photo. Thanks to Don for allowing us to share in it and thanks to those whose work magically repaired damage.
In many ways it's amazing 1924 still existed in late 1957, but so also did 2006 at Cheyenne, even running well into 1957 on the local to Yoder, WY.

Can you share your technique, since I'd love to apply it to the high-res scan. Don Strack Date: 01/26/12 07:06 Re: UP 2-8-2 1924 at Ogden, Beyond Photoshop Author: steam290 I degreened it a bit.
