Directly behind the last shot of the engine house was this sanding tower. For those who don't know what this is; it elevates sand above the highest part of the locomotive to make it easier to add sand to the sandboxes on the engine. Locomotives, both steam and diesel (heck almost anything that runs on rails really) have what are called sanders and they put down a layer of sand right in front of the drive wheels to aid traction.

Originally shot on Kodak Gold 400ASA with a non-descript Kodak 'point and shoot'. Then re-shot RAW at 100ASA. Colour curves were used in Photoshop to correct negative orange cast and then inverted. (Update, this is one of the images that I think I'll have to revisit, it looks terrible.)

(This facility no longer exists.)
