Rio Grand Zephyr at South Canyon, West of Glenwood Springs, Colorado, April 1983
Image made in a rainstorm with a 90mm f8.0 Schneider Super Angulon lens on a 4×5 Anniversary Speed Graphic camera using Kodak Ektachrome Film. Under far less than ideal weather conditions the Rio Grande Zephyr makes its way west in South Canyon just west of Glenwood Springs, after having crossed the Chacra Bridge over the Colorado River. This is the original image showing gray skies that existed when the photograph was made. An earlier posting of this same scene was a composite image showing a sunny cloud bank in the sky area. With the ability of modern digital scanners to properly render extreme exposure differences in a single image, it is now possible to include the washed-out sky in the original exposure as it appeared during the rainstorm. The rain gave the venerable engine a shiny new look in this photograph–an unexpected bonus on an otherwise somber day. Engine #5771 is now on display at the Colorado Railroad Museum in Golden.
