Railpictures.ca - Matt Watson Photo: A trio of BCOL 4600s lead a short train of OSB boxcars from the LP mill in Fort St John toward Dawson Creek to be unloaded, then reloaded with the same material after a finishing process was applied. This was during one of several slide-film-relapses I went through and was shot on a medium format camera (note the unusual aspect ratio), even in 2010 it cost close to $2 every time that shutter button was pressed. But a matching set of BC Rails on a perfect November morning was worth it. | Railpictures.ca – Canadian Railway Photography

Well, I sure know all about the costs of using a medium format camera. The outpouring of the moola really adds up but years later, down the road, it is truly worth it.
This shot is a real beauty. Stunning.
