The Amtrak Gallery

This photo of the Talgo train was made near Ft. Lewis Wa at about 0930 in the morning on a day with overcast bright conditions. By mistake, I used the wrong meter setting in my camera and discovered in Photoshop that this was the only way to save it. This starts my "Day for Night" photo experiment.

Portland to Seattle Amtrak headed north at Solo Point, fall 1997

The Talgo Train headed south, fall 1997

The Talgo train above was leased. After an evaluation period, we bought our own trainsets. They just started running winter of 98. I will photograph them more this spring and summer.
