I like the angle here -- the mechanical bits with their intriguing shapes against the sky. Showing sky and no tracks makes it feel dream-like. This evokes great memories of riding old trains with our children.
I was born to a railroad family in a railroad town in Illinois. This reminds me we should get ourselves down to Steamtown National Park in Scranton again. Want to see the progress they've made on the locomotives they were working on the last time we were there.

Love this! I can almost hear it just by seeing the photo!
ReplyDeleteA rare sight these days.
ReplyDeleteGreat capture.
Yup, we hardly see this these days. A classic...
ReplyDeleteGreat capture!
ReplyDeleteI played too. Mine are here and here.
You don't see these too often (outside of amusement parks, that is.) Would love to see the whole engine - maybe a future WW post?
ReplyDeleteHappy WW!

Love it! So much detail.
ReplyDeleteI imagine it could give a variety of signals with two whistles and a bell. So cool to get such a well preserved glimpse of the past.
