Photo note, this was very flat sky day. I took this image on the D500's test run a few weeks ago. This was taken in Aperture priority mode. In order to battle the flat sky, I shot with -1.67 exposure compensation. That's pretty low for me, I usually don't drift south of -1, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
Back to the train:
Essentially, the #1223 and #1225 shared similar paths and dates. After 'retirement' in 1951, this train was saved from the scrap yard in 1960 to be a display at the state fairgrounds in Detroit. In 1981, the train was moved to Grand haven where it sits today. The train is cosmetically restored - and looks pretty good.
From of the cars on display:
And the train display:
ISO 100, f/11, 1/80 sec (Aperture Priority -1.67)
NIKON D500 Ver.1.15/18.0-200.0 mm f/3.5-5.6
Looks in pretty good shape for being out int he elements. I'm fairly certain this train will never move again, but you never know.
This train learning experience has been a fun journey.
