[SHOT 3.17 | START FRAME: NB Pro 3.17 output | DURATION: 5s] Exterior transitional. The Super Chief moves right-to-left through the autumn woodland curve at approximately 50 mph — reversed screen direction from shot 3.01. First two seconds: the train holds its curve, mahogany-brown cars with gold banding tracking smoothly R→L. Wheels turn with realistic rotational blur. Autumn oak canopy in the foreground sways gently in train-wake turbulence — leaves flutter, one or two dry leaves detach and drift downward. Third to fourth second: the sleeper cars come into view — distinguishable by the lace-curtained windows (cream geometric pattern visible through the glass, distinct from the plain-curtained coach cars that passed earlier). This visual transition signals the shift from coach to sleeper. Fifth second: the last visible car begins exiting frame-left. Long shadows from the woodland canopy stripe across the train flanks. Faint heat-shimmer trails behind. Camera: locked static. No pan, no follow. Wind-shudder only — one pixel of drift maximum. Focus locked, train sharp, foreground branches slightly soft. Warm golden-hour side-rake holds constant. Autumn palette — ochre canopy, mahogany train, sage hillside. Real time, transitional momentum.
