Great photo – I’d love to see this locomotive in ‘real life’

This one was stationary, you can’t even get inside. But there is a train you can ride. For a bit extra you can ride in the engine car. I might do it one day.

Okay, now I’m humming the old Simon & Garfunkel song by the same name (which is not a bad thing, as it is one of my favorites of theirs, but I am dating myself by admitting to this!). Love the angle and the close-up view – I can feel the heat coming off that old engine!

Thanks, Robyn. That’s what I was trying to convey. And since the colors were just black, white, and blue, it was an easy decision to go straight b & w.

Spectacular image and perfect choice of toner Emilio 🙂 I really wish I could find one of these old steam locomotives somewhere in NY to photograph. Wonderful work. The title is one of Simon and Garfunkel’s best songs also.

I agree, especially when the only other color is blue. Interestingly, the engine reflected a lot of the sky so that the black actually looked blue.
