Description
As the sun sets in the west, Union Pacific's UP 5671 waits to depart Bailey Yard in North Platte, Nebraska. Union Pacific's Bailey Yard is the worlds largest railroad classification yard, a must-see for the railroad fan.
UP 5671 is a diesel electric locomotive manufactured by General Electric, it has a gross horsepower of 4,400 HP, powered by six (6) AC Traction Motors. When specifying the paint scheme, Union Pacific requested a large full-color graphic of a waving American flag, which is printed on a reflective vinyl substrate. If you've ever watched one of these units go through a crossing at night, the headlights of the waiting vehicles illuminates the large graphic and looks awesome. Also in reflective vinyl is Union Pacific's logo along with their slogan "Building America".
This photograph was post-processed using a HDR (high dynamic range) software to give it the surreal artistic feel. I also applied a couple other filters to enhance the effect I was going for.
