BUGX 1752 waits to depart Troy, Indiana in Infrared

On May 1st, 2021 I chased the BUGX 1752 between Tell City and Troy, Indiana for my first time on the Ohio River Scenic Railway with good friend Ryan Scott! This nose shot photograph was shot as Infrared and really like the way it turned out!

Last fall I started dabbling into the realm of Infrared (IR) photography, specifically to apply it to railroad photography, but with the onset of winter I put it on the back burner as IR just doesn’t work as well without the greenery, at least for what I want.

I even started a group here on Facebook for Infrared Train Photography if any of my subscribers are interested in the technique! 

BUGX 1752 is an ex-CN Rebuilt EMD that is leased now by the Ohio River Scenic Railway from Dieselmotive Company of Northern California. It is a former Canadian National FP9A unit, which was recently sold by Pioneer RailCorp affiliate Keokuk Junction Railway to Dieselmotive and has become one of their lease units.

Tech Info: Fuji X-T1, RAW, 18-35 @18mm. f/5.6, 1/40, ISO 3200 with a 720nm IR Filter.
