AMTK 301 (date is almost certainly wrong other than the year)         
I've always liked this photo, even if many serious photographers haven't. They say it's "boring," but most of them aren't railfans! From the technical point of view, the contrast is a bit low, but since it was a gloomy Plattsburgh winter day, if I were to up the contrast on this, the detail and the grit of the scene would be lost. For the railfans, though, it's a nice shot of an F40PH in the last years of F40 haulage on Train #68, the "Adirondack."

Ron Moraca General I'm not a great photog, Jon, but I know when a picture's a good one, and this one is. Grittiness gives great character to this photo. 10/11/2008 8:48:43 PM
