Blasting Out Of Bloomington
Crew change completed, UP SD70ACe 8343 and an NS GE blast out of Bloomington, Texas with a southbound manifest near midnight on Feb. 18, 2008.
Or at least appears to blast…
The train is actually doing no more than 5 mph, but a slow shutter speed on my Canon 5D combined with the horizontal lines on the NS engine give the impression that the train is flying.
Camera settings were 1.6 second exposure at f4.0 with a 1600 ISO.
