Locomotive

Thank you for comments and ratings.

Really nice shot, especially considering the tight space you had to work with. The windows are an interesting draw to the eye...but not overpowering.

very good black tones. I grew up with these but do not remember this style. But the cow catcher is there.

Thank you for the comments. I think that steam locomotives are the most beautiful man-made creations of the 19th century. This was a tight spot to shoot in, the tripod was literally touching the back wall of the roundhouse. I felt like I was back in the 1880s when I took this photo.

I wouldn't think just the 1880s or 19th Century. These are all we had in the 1940s when I was a boy. Maybe even the early 50s. I did not like loosing them.
