Price range: $699.00 through $1,099.00
In stock

My 80-200mm f2.8 Nikkor ED AF Zoom Lens at 85mm on a Nikon D700 was the perfect lens for isolating the left side piston, driving rod, and wheel detail on the Union Pacific 4-8-4 “Northern” engine stopped in Fountain, Colorado.

The sun’s reflected light from a nearby structure provided a warm glow to the massive steel driving rod that converts steam energy to 2425 horse power of mechanical force to turn the four driving wheels on each side of the engine.

Only two steam pistons, one on each side, provide all the power needed to drive this enormous engine down the track as fast as 120 miles per hour.
