About the Image(s)

This photo was taken on a rainy day at a railroad museum in Portland, Maine. I was fascinated by the 'ghost train' which was a steam train covered up as it waited to be reborn as the Polar Express for the holidays. I liked the contrast between the covered train in the overgrown siding and the old passenger train leaving the scene. A white sheet covered train versus the alive train passing by with its light on and trainman. The crooked bike/walking path was a bonus compared to the linear narrow gauge railroad tracks. Nikon Z7 with 24-120 mm f/4 S lens, ISO 400, 1/160 second at f/11.

Interesting scene with lots of things to study. I particularly like the section of track that viers off to the left. The bright light on the train pulls my attention. I would not recognize the thing under the sheet as a train. It is hard to pick out a subject.   Posted: 10/20/2026 20:18:13
