This week’s Saturday Infrared photo is of Consolidated Grain and Barge 9202, as they load grain cars at Enfield, Illinois on May 22nd, 2023. From what I can find online this is probably a GP8 locomotive, ex-CMGN, RCO, but don’t quote me on that. I’m not really a power guy, but more of a visual one. I’m always hesitant to say what the power in my photos because there’s so many variations of locomotives. If you have any inputs or thoughts, please feel free to add them to the comments!

This is my first Infrared shot from a drone! I ordered a custom 830nm IR filter cut for my Air 2S by the fine folks at Kolari Vision. It is a bit challenging since this is a very dark filter over the camera lens and requires a high ISO or very slow shutter speed.
Therefore, I’ll be looking for things that are moving very slow or waiting in a siding or yard where they’re stationary for the most part. Stay tuned!!
