More Train Photos
Oct. 6th, 2012 09:43 amThis morning, the sidings in front of our house were empty. While ordinarily we have no issue with the small yard being full of cars, yesterday morning we really wished that they'd cleared the yard since we would have had an even better view of 844 coming through.
I posted a slightly revised version of the train video that corrected the typo in the caption date, as pointed out by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nojay. Alas, the other issue he reported (white balance) isn't easily correctable. Later we realized that the cameras were still set for the shots we did at Worldcon, which means the indoor-incandescent-lighting setting was on. We thought we'd reset the cameras to Auto afterwards but apparently forgot to do so. So we're a little blue here, you might say.
While Lisa was shooting video, I was shooting still photos. Here's a selection of what I got before and during 844's run-by.
( More Photos From Fernley, including Steam )
The train was past us in a flash, but I was still delighted that I got to see it. There are very few big steam locomotives left, and the chance to see one at speed like this is pretty rare. Kudos to Union Pacific for continuing to invest in keeping 844 (and 3985) on the road for people to see how big time steam railroading used to be.
