Now that the 4014 has come and gone, I thought I'd post my five favorite shots from my two trips out to see it. Color shots were made with a Nikon D850; black & white with a Chamonix 4x5 and Ilford FP4+ film. In no particular order:
1. E/B near Clarks. NE, at Hwy 92 overpass. I waited over two hours!
2. Fremont, NE. I like this one because it gives a sense of the festival atmosphere and it shows the scale of the engine.
3. Omaha, NE. Ed Dickens, in charge of the steam program.
4. Omaha, NE One of the drivers, left side.
5. Omaha, NE Little Papillion Creek. Since the train was running on the north track I had to shoot facing south. Luckily the sky was still a bit overcast and the sun was more or less directly to the rear of the train. I don't think it came out too badly.
I heard it's coming back in October, and if it does I'll see if I can catch it further west this time.
