What a beautiful shot. I always hear trains going at night when I sleep, there's a big train industry where I'm from, it's nice to see them so beautifully represented. I am currently reading Atlas Shrugged (have you heard about it?) Its all about trains.

Great shot!

Yeah no problem! Oh its a great book! You should look it up, its by Ayn Rand, its science fiction, but its really great. You'd probably enjoy it since you like trains. She's really popular here in the states. It's about philosophy too, its really "deep"

This really is one of the best steam photos I've seen in a long time, it captures the bustle of the footplate perfectly.

This is superb! My grandfather was an engineer and when I was little he took me for a ride in the cabin. I was thrilled!
