UP4014....the long and the short of it
Author: jbwest

The focal length you choose can make a big difference.  Both shot leaving Evanston eastbound early in the morning on May 13, 2019.

Nice images!

When did the cylinder and valve cover decorative plates come off?

The second photo is my favorite of the two.

Nice photos.  I hope they stashed that nice golden headlight reflector somewhere safe.  I like the second photo too, and with the original style headlight .  I'm not bitching at the use of the new one though.
Makes perfectly good sense.

The wide angle was about 38 mm (not really very wide), the tele shot about 210mm, both with a DX sensor.  I also prefer the telephoto effect.

The interesting thing here is using both wide angle & telephoto while shooting steam. Unless your name was 'Richie Rich', the choice of focal lengths was a luxury unheard of during the classic steam era! A job well done, resulting in an IOTD! Kudos!!! :^)

I see the cab "sagging" downward in the telephoto shot:  were the cabs built that way, or have they simply sagged over time due to age?  8444 had the same issue.
