A few weeks ago I posted a few shots of the Union Pacific Big Boy steam engine being moved to it's new location. Yesterday they moved one of the few remaining Centennial diesel-electric locomotives to the same location. The Centennials were the largest diesels ever built.
With the exception of wind, the weather was great. Here are a few of the photos I took while spending a couple of hours following it along it's move.
There are three short videos mixed among the still photos. They are marked. If you're on a dial up line or other slow connection you'll want to just skip to the next photo. They are about 7 to 8 megabytes each.
By the way. The videos were taken with the OptioMX. They were shot in Mpeg-4 and converted to Mpeg-1 for the web. I really like it for this type of thing. It slips easily into a lens pocket in the camera bag. The short videos can record a bit of the atmosphere that doesn't come across well in the stills. You can get about 20 minutes of the highest quality video on a 512 Mb SD card.
The stills were all shot with the istD and the 16-45mm lens.
Both sets of photos are here: <http://georges.smugmug.com/Street+Scenes>
See you later, gs
