While waiting for the D&H/CP Rail to produce the encore performance to train 666s appearance here at West Chazy, it became apparent I had lots of time to consider other options regarding the view. So I moved back and included less of the station and more of the train this time, while staying with the 100mm angle. Almost two hours after 666 passed by the scanner came to life with the night dispatcher giving 930 the light to proceed south out of Rouses Point. Basking in the shadow of the West Chazy tower, the scanner picks up everything going out over the air on 161.100. The attractive BNSF power, found everywhere out west, is a rare sight for us to see up along the Canadian border in New York. Thirty minutes or more after departing from Hayford Road up in Rouses Point, train 930 enables the D&H and CP Rail to come alive again before my camera in West Chazy! Given all this time to consider changing views for this shot, in my cleverness, I almost messed up by looking into the headlights too directly! The Zeiss 100mm macro lens handles the headlights admirably though, whew! What a lens to compliment a great paint scheme. What an encore! Shot at West Chazy, NY on August 15, 2010 at 02:10 with the 5D and Zeiss ZF 100/2 (Nikon) lens set at f2. 

Thought you would enjoy seeing West Chazy Station earlier in its life. The postcard view looks the other way from my recent photos, but what a difference in the landscape! The attached photos are courtesy of Larry Marnes, thanks Larry! Please enjoy!

All The Best In 2010;
