CN FUPD local heads south on the CN Bluford Subdivision, West Paducah, Ky

The Canadian National Fulton to Paducah (FUPD) local, led by CN 5485 and 8887, pulls off the Maxon Branch at the CN/PAL diamond in West Paducah, KY as it heads south on the CN Bluford Subdivision on its way back to Fulton, Ky after interchanging with the Paducah and Louisville Railway.

I really love shooting with my long lens, but it’s something you really have to learn to use, to be affective! Very hot days can be very difficult due to heat distortion causing heat waves through out your photo. Sometime the effect can be good, others not. I’m surprised this one came out as well as it did as the temperature was just over 90. 

The other thing is how the longer lens can really compress and distort the look of the tracks, which is what it has done here in this shot. This was shot at 850mm with my Sigma 150-600 with a 1.4 teleconverter.
