Title:  A Green Hue And Way Too Dark
Description:  This long eastbound MU train from Grand Central is rounding the long curve at CP 216. This is Shell Interlocking. The train's rear cars are directly beneath I-95. I added some blue tint to the otherwise dull, gray sky. Can you tell?

This Is The End
Title:  This Is The End
Description:  Correcting the grain on the side of Power Car #2002 got the best of me! I blurred the details in trying to smooth it out. Maybe it was just too dark of a day to be out there. Guess I'm a die hard! Well, the guys told me to come back on a Wednesday or Thursday morning to see the regular Providence & Worcester freight job pass by on its way to New England. I hope it's a brighter day!

Description:  Train 873 to Poughkeepsie races north at Dobbs Ferry, NY at 3:49 PM on 2/15/2005. Loco is back lit and out of focus. Tried to correct it with Photoshop. For some reason, the colorful #231 always has been hard to capture clearly whenever I have the opportunity!
