The photo was taken at the Milano Centrale train station, the largest railway station (by volume) in Europe.
The slide was so faded that the color was irretrievable so I went with converting to black and white. I used ACDSee Ultimate 2020 to do the conversion. I started by converting to black and white and adjusting the colors. Then I adjusted the lighting and increased the exposure slightly. I added more contrast and clarity and sharpened the image. Lastly I reduced the noise and haze.

Some of the pictures are also beautiful in black and white. This is one of them. I have the desire to travel by train.
I’ve only done it a couple of times but I’ve enjoyed it each time.
The clock face looks clear and distinctive, as well as the train. Great resurrection job done there!
Thank you. ACDSee Ultimate is a very good editor. It’s a shame it doesn’t get more PR.
I just remembered my train journey en route Jung Frau in Switzerland – a journey through hills and dales a great memory.
I’ve heard about that route. I used to work for a guy who took it.
Have travelled a lot here but my most memorable train journey was in the US when I took that Amtrak route from San Jose to Oxnard a straight coastline experience with sea as company.
That sounds great. The only time I’ve taken a long train trip in the USA was round-trip between Chicago and New York. It was very enjoyable.
Never even been on a train in the US. But I keep hoping one day. This is an excellent photo.
I used to work for a large travel agency and we got a lot of very nice free trips. This time we flew into Milan and then took the train to Monte Carlo. Other than the train getting stalled for about two hours just outside of Monaco after we had been traveling for over 30 hours, it was great. We got to see the old Italian villages along the way.
Wow that sounds like a great experience.
It was. We rode mopeds on the route of the Grand Prix and visited medieval villages.
