Description

"If we see light at the end of the tunnel, It's the light of the oncoming train." --Robert Lowell

I'd like to thank everyone in the forum who gave me input on which version of this image I should post in my gallery. You can visit that thread by clicking HERE. It is hard to make a decision when you are so close to the subject matter. My son Connor loves trains, and my parents have a neighbor who set up an outdoor track. Whenever we visit Grandma and Grandpa, Connor has to visit Mr. Jack to play engineer with his assorted trains. Thomas the Tank Engine Who is Thomas the Tank Engine? Thomas the Tank Engine is the central character in HIT Entertainment's Thomas & Friends. Thomas can be found in toys, books, videos and even a feature film. Millions of children around the world enjoy the magical world of Thomas the Train. That's because Thomas and his friends are more than just trains

Love the desaturation to a point were it appears to be a hand tinted photograph. Also excellent composition. I too recall my son playing with the Thomas engines. At that time they all were made of metal and still have several in packages. Now they are made out of plastic.

Actually, you can still get the metal ones, the wood ones, and the plastic ones. *
