Seen at Harlem-125th, while I was waiting for my train. The rain was nice and heavy.


Pouring rain but 203 is moving toward me for a nice closeup side shot.


Hahahahaha!! Nope, I'm foiled! That cab car is part of a fast moving train moving in for teh block! Oh well, there's always next time.

your pal,
Fred

As an editor, I see you can crop the second pic to make a p3rfect "portrait focus" on teh 203.

The darker skies give a better view of what it looks like, as the previous pictures had some glare. Nice looking locomotive if I do say so myself.

I could but in this case it would be noisy as I needed to bump the ISO up to get a decent shutter speed. No problem, I was lucky to have seen it and it gave me a chance to head downstairs for hot coffee inside the station room. Trivia: didja know that the downstairs waiting/ticketing area is an exact replica of the original 1876 station?

your pal,
Fred

I do like it better than the plain jane livery, which I always thought would be good for advertising wraps.

your pal,
Fred

I agree but that's what the designs of these new tech trains look like to me, big flat billboards.

I actually like it. The red inculded in it goes with the cars it's pulling.

Fred,
How'd you keep the rain out of your lens?

Well hey stranger! Welcome back, hope you stick around.

As for the rain, I didn't and went through a couple of lens cloths drying it off after mostly keeping it pointed downward between shots. Seems I have flashes of brilliance on how to set up a plastic bag as rain gear, but it's always while I'm out in the rain :(

your pal,
Fred

I'm thinking that that's possibly why they added the red.
