March 08, 2001
-Outdoor
exhibit, restoration building
I took advantage of a March 08, 2001 restoration
visit to make a partially complete collection of photos from Exporail.
In the shop for restoration was a vintage-1894 combine (mixed passenger
and baggage car) and a "doodlebug" diesel-electric railcar, both of which
have since been finished.
April 2001
-Outdoor
exhibit, restoration building
With less snow on the ground, additional
pieces of equipment were made accessible for photos. Much progress
had been made on the combine and doodlebug.
June 10, 2004
-Outdoor
exhibit
These are photos of a steam excursion
between Montreal and the museum that was to raise funds for the restoration
of CP S2 #7077, which is part of the museum's collection. Lunch
was held at the museum grounds, and I took advantage of the opportunity
for a few photos. SLR M420W #3569 was a recent addition--shortly
before my last visit to the museum in 2001, I had been photographing it
in revenue service.
October 27, 2005
-New
building
-Outdoor
exhibit
With two new cameras (compared to 2001)
and a full day to visit the grounds, I took a much more complete collection
of photos. The main exhibition building, which had been under construction
in 2001, was long completed by this time. Indoor photos were taken
with a Canon Powershot S45 digital camera, while outdoor shots were taken
with my usual Chinon GS-7 camera.
March 03, 2006
-New
building
-Outdoor exhibit (to be uploaded)
Another visit in which I used primarily
the Canon S45 digital camera for indoor shots and the Chinon camera for
outdoor shots. I filled in areas I had neglected to photograph in
October and took a number of detail photos. Armed with a tripod,
I was able to set indoor shots at 50 ISO on the Canon S45 (compared to
400 ISO previously) with the result that the photos were much clearer.
Subsequent visits are not displayed here--see the "By equipment" sections below for more recent photos.
