Bad track

Bad track


Dubious trackwork on an industrial lead in Sunnyvale. At first glance, one might take this section for abandoned, but the shiny rails say otherwise, and deeper into the maze of track you’ll find obviously new tank cars spotted on a factory spur. Federal Railroad Administration regulations limit speed in such areas to 10 MPH, which in this case would seem recklessly fast.

Shot with the Nikon D70s and the 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5 zoom at 70mm, ISO 400, f/11, shutter 1/500 sec. Exposure, contrast, saturation, levels, and highlights adjustments in Aperture.
