What I'd expect my trainspotting friends to say isn't so much that there's too much dead space left as not enough train right. ;-) Nice shot otherwise!

Haven't looked at your gallery yet. Look forward to that; if this photo is any indication it will be spectacular! This has a real vintage feel to it. No visual cues that this is anything other than a period photo. Even the rendering has an old-time feel to it.

Re: Rolling down the track
John, the train is owned & operated by Iowa Interstate Railroad & primarily used at fundraisers for small town Fire Depts. The train was built in China & was the last long distance steam train in China when they switched to diesel. It is manned by a rew of 15 volunteers when out on exhibit. When not under steam power it is puled by a diesel. This day the train was making three round trips of 15 miles between two small towns steam one way and diesel on the return trip. $14 for 30 minute ride. I bought a ticket but after boarding I realized I would not be able to take photos of the train entering and leaving the town. So I left my wife on board and drove to the next town to take these photos. pdml-requ...@pdml.net wrote: Message: 6 Date: Wed, 10 Jul 2013 22:40:04 -0400 From: John To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List Subject: Re: Rolling down the track Message-ID: <51de1b04.7050...@yahoo.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Who'd it belong to & where was it going?
