Marvelous view and shot !!!
A capture straight out of the past.
that's always so much fun to watch.
That is cool!
nice POv
Excellent shot.
Very nice composition in this picture.
Very nice capture. I like the painting effect very much.
This photo is great not only for the locomotive taking in water, it's also great due to all the old historic rail road passenger cars visible on each side. I wonder how you could get in between these trains. It's a risky proposition squeezing in between trains in a railway yard. Keep up the good work (but BE CAREFUL!). :-)
Very good capture!
@T.Rex! Thanks for your concern, but it is actually really safe. The train runs between Strasburg rail station and Paradise once every hour. When getting to the Strasburg station, the locomotive is up front pulling the cars, it stop, uncouples from the cars, goes to the first switch, backs onto the center track (the one I stood on when I took the picture), stops for water if it needs to, then continues to the first switch at that end which allows the locomotive to change tracks again and hook up with the cars again, except now the locomotive is pulling the cars while it is going backwards. This is necessary because there are turn-tables either at Strasburg or Paradise..
Wonderful shot Sig!! Great perspective!
Wonderful capture my friend. God bless.
