About the Home Page Photo

Q: How was the home page photo set up?

"It's difficult to describe the procedures for producing that photo. However I did use some colored gels, mirrors, and a fog filter on the lens to produce that early evening fog that you would find as the ground cooled. Of course a few years of working with this sort of thing helped a little. It was shot with a Fuji 680 film camera and was shot about the same time I did the series of ads for SHS' steam engine. It's supposed to depict a modern time period where the Challenger is moving a fan trip on the main, while a UP merchandise train has just been given clearance out of the hole."

About the diesels' smoke, "...if you guessed it was 'PhotoShopped' in, you're correct."
