Hawaian plates are a rather rare occurance (to say the least) here in Canada

Darren and I were walking in a heavily shaded area back to the car after having checked out all of the exhibits. He suggested some exposure settings and here's the result.

The view while waiting to get on the ferry.

To get to the BNSF units took a little bit of walking. Here's at shot of one of the switchers through a fence at max zoom (200mm). This was after we had already been walking for a while.
|
To find our way to the tracks took a lot of maneuvering and we ended up taking a few wrong turns along the route.
|
We had only seen two switchers from the bridge, and it was a pleasant surprise to see these units.
|
The same scene from a slightly different angle.
|
I tried to enlarge the units in the last photo.
|
When we finally got down to the yards the switchers that we had earlier seen were gone, but shortly after we got there the switchers made a return trip.
|
The trailing unit momentarily disappears from view

|
The second switcher looked a bit on the dirty side, but it was nice to see some BNSF instead of the usual CN or CP.
|
The chief railfan watches the units roll by (taking careful notes in his usual fashion)

These photo marks my first usage of 400 ISO film in this camera, instead of the 200 ISO film that I had been using up until now.

An attempt to capture as many locos in the shot as possible.
