A nearby station shared by Amtrak and Chicago’s regional commuter train is in something of an industrial area; when I was headed out to the suburbs one weekend afternoon last Fall to spend some time with a friend, I brought the Nikon F5 along so I could finish a roll of film. I really wanted a composition that took in the industrial features as a train came in, and was pretty happy with this one. I also like how Tri-X rendered the clouds on a day that was slowly becoming more overcast and still kept some shadow detail.
