Nostalgia & History > A little Oregon Tunnel Motor actionDate: 10/27/05 19:29 A little Oregon Tunnel Motor action Author: photobob Heres 8284 leading an eastbound through Chemult, Oregon on a COLD Winter day back in the 80's. It was always fun to time the sutter release just as the Gyro Lite poped into your viewfinder.For some reason Yellow noses and ditch lights just dont have the same appeal to me.

One of the later T-2s that was stored in Eugene for awhile during the downturn in traffic. It's a great winter SP scene. The kind you can't get anymore. Don't feel bad about the number mixup, I've done the same thing. It comes from posting late at night. At least that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

Date: 10/29/05 19:47 Re: A little Oregon Tunnel Motor action Author: choochoocharlie I have tried to do the same thing with those "gumball" lights that Santa Fe had and were also on some SP and UP units. Wait to shoot the photo when the light was on in my direction so it gave the shot a little more life to it. Most of the time I got it...... but then, sometimes I didn't........... C.C.Chas.
