Post your (LF) trains!

[SamReeves]

Allright I'm going out on a little of a limb here…but some of you got to have some train pix. It's more so for my curiosity to see what large format can do for a locomotive or boxcar. Moving trains tend to be a big challenge with 4x5 because of the speed vs. depth of field issues. However a still subject is usually a money in the bag with the big camera. :)

I'll start. Here's Union Pacific 849 sunning itself at the enginehouse in Portola, California in June of 2002. Tachihara 4x5 Field, Fujichrome Velvia.

I chased CPR 2816 up the Fraser Canyon in BC once a few years back and attempted to take a few shots with my 4x5. This is one of the few that's close to being good (ie. no motion blur) In my opinion, shooting moving trains are great for a dslr, but not so good for a view camera!

LOL, are you showing your real age? That spot is called Cape Horn and is on the Southern Pacific "Overland Route." Union Pacific had a nasty derailment there last year, so it's a good idea to be aware of your surroundings.

No I am not that old! I was just a wee lad assisting Mr Watkins. He let me unload his camera from the train and haul his wash water.

Here is an oldie! In 1976 I was staff photographer for the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad. 1976 was the Bicentennial of our country & lots of railroads painted a locomotive for the occasion. This photo was done in secret at the Belt RR yard in south side of Chicago. (It had to be done in secret so the railfans would not know. If they knew, there would have been thousands of people there making it hard to move the locomotives around.) As far as I know, I was the only RR photographer there who brought a large format camera (a Speed Graphic).

The ICG locomotive is the one painted like an eagle. Sadly, on the very first run using this locomotive, it hit a truck in Mississippi killing the engineer.

Rick Tapio

[Sanjay Sen]

Those locos have gorgeous colors! Do you have any other images, Rick?

[rcjtapio]

As an employee of the railroad, everything I shot that day was the property of the ICG Railroad, which is now part of the Canadian National. They would have all the negatives.

This shot is a scan of a print I have & is the only souvenir I have from that day.

Although they are not LF photos, if you are a serious train aficionado this site has some interesting photos: http://jlmrrphotos.com/

John is a local photographer in Pagosa who has been photographing railroads for several decades. He used to use Hasselblads, but has moved over to digital (I apologize that it is not LF). However he presents an assembly of railroad photos from many different lines and geographical locations. Often times he presents a little history of the rolling stock that he has photographed.

In moving to digital, John makes large digital prints (something around 30" by X feet). These he sells when he travels around the country to various railroad clubs and meets. He claims that he has an easy time selling his prints!!!

So although it is not LF, I hope that you find this of interest.

the 93

This was a photographers special on the Nevada Northern RR January 2, 2000

It was bitter cold. The better for steam! We were all piled in the caboose with a good fire in the stove and a pot of stew. When we got to a spot we wanted to photograph everyone would pile out and set up while the engineer backed up about 1/4 to 1/2 mile. He would then put the throttle 'in the corner' and make just as much steam as possible while charging our direction.

Part of the fun for me at least was the collection of misfits this event drew. Railroad photographers (foamers) are a breed unto themselves. They all knew each other. I was odd man out with a Cambo 5X7. The camera of choice was a Nikon F2 loaded with Kodachrome 64. And God help you if it was a clean Nikon, oh NO, these cameras must look like you pounded every nail in the house with them. One extra colorful guy had a Speed Graphic with a Lanthar that he had been using since David Plowden was a teenager. This guy proceeded to smoke a stogie all day long and a tripod was a matter of derision. He had a Graphmatic and it was nothing for him to get 4 good shots off. Later that evening while the 93 was resting under steam at the shops he set up a night shot for us. F8 he barked, then he proceeded to light the whole thing up with flash bulbs for us. I got the shot on 35mm and it's a keeper.

Never been to the EBT before but the concept of a road that is intact historically is far more interesting to me than the various junk collections that museums put together. That is what I love about the Nevada Northern. It is perhaps the best kept historical railroad in the USA and it's remote enough that it isn't getting 'loved to death'.

Those are great shots
Now I suppose instead of Nikons it's some kind of DLSR to be an acceptable foamoid
5x7 action shots!!? whoaaa
but you infer you cheated and used a tripod
very cool
As for EBT, I visited there in the 70s. The car shop looked as if the workers simply put their tools down [ ca 1957 IIRC] and went home for the day- with one exception- the Scotch[?] boiler for the shops had deteriorated rapidly, so in order to use the massive machine tools a large electric motor was bolted to a [heavy] planer or such and belted up to the drivelines etc to be able to use the other machines- all driven by "flapping leather belts", pulleys, etc. Holy Goodness that was a long time ago- wonder if it still works?

[Rick Olson]

Hello Ed,

I visit the EBT each year to photograph the trains, equipment and yard facilities. All of the equipment and tools remain in the machine shops, as you mentioned after the crews left. They give shop tours, so you can see the belt driven heavy machinery and equipment. It's quite a well preserved time machine.

the 29 spot at Virginia City

Took the 2 grand laddies for their first steam train ride. I moved them out into the cattle car on the ascent back up the hill so they could experience breathing smoke and soot for a few long seconds in tunnel 3. Have to make an impression, that's why they've got me. :cool:

That lens does contribute to the vintage feel of it. Although the lens is much older than the locomotive. :)

I have many 35mm and digi shots of that same train! I'm awaiting the arrival of my new 5X7 and this is actually one of the first stops I intend to make with it.

Any other places to shoot trains in the area?

[gbogatko]

The only other one I knew of was in Flemington, that was years ago. There must be more around. I know that New Hope DOES have a working steamer -- it was in the shed. They probably run it near the weekend. The rest of the days, they use a Diesel.

You are right about New Hope. They only run the steamers on weekends. Here's a video I grabbed of their steam engine a few weeks ago:

Very nice! Mount Washington is a great operation to photograph.In my memories it was pretty windy and cold (a lot of ice up there). And at this time (indian summer '99) we reduced the average age inside the car by about 10 years (min.). :-)

I got some glas negs (http://24x30.de/index.php?page=gallery.glas.01) from 1926. They were astonishingly easy to print. They show street trains taken at Haarlem and Den Haag (Netherlands) by a german engineer who's name was Franz Finckh. The used camera was a Zeiss Ikon Maximar at 6,5x9 cm² Agfa Isorapid glas negs.

For those who can ignore that they are not taken with a LF camera but like steam trains: :-)

Stupid-newbie-LF-Train-Nerd-Photog question time:

What's your technique for shooting moving trains?

I'm guessing you would pick a point and focus there, stop down a load, insert holder and pull slide, cock shutter, and wait till train reaches said spot and click. Am I right? What do ya'll do?

Thanks,

Allright I'm going out on a little of a limb here…but some of you got to have some train pix. ....Moving trains tend to be a big challenge with 4x5 because of the speed vs. depth of field issues.

Damn rails moved just a hair to the right when I set the shutter.

I usually tell our students to be careful about having an upper corner being light relative to the rest of the image, as it draws the eye away from the subject. I demonstrate this by covering the bright corner.

I was pleasantly surprised that in your case, the bright upper left of the image becomes an important part of the over-all composition. A well-seen exception to the "rule"!

Jim, the tree in the smoke stack bothers me ever so slightly

Me too, but with the slight offset and the tones allowing a bit of separation, I felt that it didn't kill the shot completely. That's one of the problems I have with shooting a super wide pinhole; being able to visualize exactly what's going to happen. Truthfully, I should have re-shot it, but I had moved on to other things. I try to tell myself that the tree coming out of the stack almost looks like smoke. It almost works:)

Western Maryland 236 is a F7A
Western Pacific 805A is a FP7
While they share the same F nose, there are substantial differences.
(and F7A's, although not this one, can also have the traction motors setup for the same gearing as the FP7...note that the WP also used F7B's along with the FP7s, and these had the same gearing)

The large building in the center of the first one is the California Hotel, a once-grand hotel in the first block of State Street, SB's main drag. It has been vacant for years, waiting either for a complete tear-down, or an investor with enough money to make it meet the current earthquake-safety standards.

Yes, that's my tripod leg and its shadow in the second shot... I'm too much of a black-border purist-nutcase to crop...

Not far from the location above was a spur with a couple of "bad order" Southern Pacific boxcars. I've read that the "Bozo Texano" graffiti has appeared for decades by various hobo artists. (Same data as above. The second photo shows a little light leakage in the lower right corner from the revolving back on my B&J Press.)

Thanks Sanjay! This was a 5 x 7 TMax400 negative masked and contact printed on grade 2 Slavich Bromportrait 8 x 10 glossy paper. So very little in the way of user reviews on this stuff, so I bought a packet from Freestyle to experiment. Amazing paper with beautiful creamy warm tones. I have now placed a large order in grades 2 and 3.

I love the texture of Bromportrait. I usually use that paper to print portraits, toned in selenium to get a warm toned print. You have made a beautiful print!

Makes me want to take the beast (8x10 Orbit) out so I can make some silver chloride contact prints.

[Rick Olson]

Hi Al,

Thanks ... yes, these are scans direct from the prints. That Fomalux silver chloride (AZO-type) paper is very nice. Make sure you get the fiber glossy and not the RC type!

Would look great with your 8x10 negs.

Joe, this shot is great. Makes me want to go find some trains to shoot in all this cloudy weather we have going in NYC. (I don't think there is anywhere that would let me close enough to take a similar picture though.)

[Joe O'Hara]

Justin, that train is (or was, it was a couple of years ago) in New Hope, PA, not too long a drive from NYC. When you are through photographing (we have ample cloudy weather these days as you know) you can stop at the nearby Triumph Brewing Company for a fresh beer.

One of my favorite places! Chances are it's still there, they haven't gotten anything up and running in recent years that wasn't already running. The run steam and diesel depending on the day.

I can second the recommendation for Triumph Brewing Company. They have great views of the trains too, it's literally on the other side of the tracks. Not to mention good beer.

[Bob Kerner]

+1 color.

For some reason diesels look better in color to me, maybe because they are modern and my brain expects that, compared to a steamy. I was at the bookstore yesterday looking through train magazines to find places near home to take my kids to safely see trains (and make pictures) and with rare exception the diesels were photographed in color and steam in B&W.

What's the name of the museum so I can find it on a map and get directions?

I think it is closed right now (opening in april), but the trains are all outside and no one really cared that I was looking around.

I would agree. When there's a local steam run, I load real B&W film into my Elan 7. The dismals look better in color.

I do have to shoot more, I am only about 20 minutes from the New Hope and Ivyland RR.

Sam,

I find a lot of the areas in West Virginia feel like Thurmand, there's nothing like mountain railroading. Thinking of Thurmand, I really need to get back there.

I really enjoy working with the 4x5 and I'm looking forward to using it on a few more projects, I cannot wait to see how it works out as well...

Single scan of two 4x5 negatives taken in Goleta, Calif., near Santa Barbara, with a 7" unmarked Darlot-ish Gem-camera petzval lens on a Speed Graphic. I bought the lens from LFFer Garrett and it originally had a ~f6 washer-stop, which I removed, now making it about f4. Used a Speed Graphic and '03-outdated TMAX 100.

Both pics were taken a few minutes away, a few feet apart. The right-hand shot is of a train/track signal, and the 359.4 is the Union Pacific mile marker. (Trivia for other railfans.)

Ed and Kent, thanks for the feedback. Kent, I especially liked one of your first three posted photos with the 6" Derogy of the railyards and the bright engine light in the distance. ("Let the Midnight Special SHINE...", as the old song goes.)

Here's a link to another couple of shots I did six months ago at the same RR crossing, this time with a 5" magic lantern lens bought from Richard Rankin. I think it might have been a bit sharper had I remembered to bring along a cable release for my Pacemaker's FP shutter.

Shots from the mid 50's etc, copyright 2010

ISBN 978-0393-07908-1

[GhoSStrider]

I had the opportunity to meet David Plowden a couple of years ago at the Center for Railroad Photography and Art's yearly convention. Fascinating photographer and a true gentleman. I'm on a quest to collect all of his books. His pictures tell a great story.

[Two23]

A couple of you brought up D. Plowden. I've had a chance to talk to him the past two years at CRPA also, when everyone one else had run off to get some food. He's probably the closest to my own thinking of anyone I found there. I showed about 40 of my shots, mostly night shots. He once worked for BN at Willmar, MN. That's a town I go to twice a month on my job and am familiar with the area. I also bought his book, "Requiem for Steam." At the book signing, I asked him for a special request. I asked him to sign it, "David Plowden, O.W. Link's assistant." The guys in charge of the event that were within earshot were aghast! Was I insulting Plowden? LOL. Plowden started laughing so hard he sat back in his chair, and said "Sure, I'd be happy to do that!" My book has the following:
"To Kent Staubus--
Who shoots the light, not the trains. Proud to say I was Link's assistant. There was a man who created light! Thanks, D Plowden 4/16/11."

As a night shooter, this is exciting to me. The above has my name, Link's assistant's name, and Link's name all in one place! That alone was worth the price of the book to me. I had several interesting discussions with him as well.

Although I do love Edward Hopper I prefer your Interpretation to the original, Great photo and in my opinion there is nothing wrong with the sky the contrast between colder background sky, cold steel foreground and warm main subject draws me to the warm patch in the middle and makes the picture work at least for me

I've been sort of "lost" since winter ended. I love the cold & snow! I'm making my current project shots of railroaders with their equipment. I don't have many interesting buildings along the tracks here on the Northern Plains, but what I do have is good access to the trains and people. So, that's the direction I'm going for now. Two shots below of DME engineer near Tracy, MN. One shot is from my Fuji 180mm f5.6 lens. I took another from my Derogy (Petzval) 6 inch f3.5 lens. Once I get consistent "people" shots in day time, I'll set up my lights and start getting them at night.

I didn't realize I could only post one shot per day. Summer is my very least favorite time of year--boring blue skies, bugs, heat, short nights. However, this year I'm trying for more shots with people in them, and will learn how to shoot in the rain. Here's the second one made with the Petzval. I used Efke 25 and some ND filters to do this one.

You might know where Alturas is, but Wendel I'll just let you look up on a map. There are some good bits and pieces left there, and so remote and forgotten that I hesitate to draw attention to them. Even so, there's only one building there that probably dates to NCO days. There was a dog there that kept getting closer to show that, yes, he really does mean business, and I only did snapshots of that building with the Nikon. It looked like it was probably a railroad built schoolhouse. Just a guess. The shed in the tank picture is almost certainly a retired caboose with clerestory removed.
