The Spirit of VR - 8 August 2016

This humble effort is not going to cause the greats of railway photography to lose any sleep but it marks a new direction for me with a view to further experimentation in the future. A lot of ten-thumbed editing got me this far.

The picture shows a VR (Finnish Railways) emu slowing to a halt at Espoo.

VR is not entirely without technical or punctuality problems but it does have an impressive and mostly modern fleet. The frequency on many routes makes it attractive to travel by train.
