Hi Folks: Most of you know that I am a b/w shooter. I also enjoy seeing quality b/w work in print. For the last several years, TRAINS has been publishing its salon-quality b/w photos using color separations. See Ted Benson's article on the Sierra RR in the December issue. The "color" printing shows the finer tones of the original b/w prints.
For comparison, look back to Benson's Sierra article in the first issue of TRAINS ILLUSTRATED (1988). Those photos were printed in straight b/w halftones. This topic came up because of the references to TI on the list recently. I located my set of 11 issues, which were neatly filed in a library box on my living room bookshelf. I have been paging through the mags as a source of renewed inspiration. Contemporary or classic b/w rail photography was a frequent subject in TI. Thanks to TRAINS for continuing this effort by publishing a quality b/w feature every now and then.
