The Reading & Blue Mountain Northern break out the steam locomotives for their annual autumn excursion.
All three shots taken by the Port Clinton Station.

Wow! Those are beautiful!! I cannot pick a favorite between 2 or 3, but leaning towards #3!

That would make such a beautiful framed enlargement for a railroad buff!

**joip** · 12-20-2014, 12:41 PM

Really nice shots. All the detail along with the conductor make number 3 my favorite!

Dewman · 12-20-2014, 01:02 PM

Number 3 for me! Great shots. I can remember steam locomotives when I was a kid. Sheez.... am I THAT old?

**monochrome** · 12-20-2014, 02:43 PM

#3 - even caught the bell motion!!

awesome shots Tom, those steamers are really something to see and hear and these are some of the best I've seen. TFS, Bob

LOL! Hope these shots bring back good memories!

Absolutely wonderful images of trains. I love all of them but the third one would be my favorite if someone made me chose. Or maybe it would be the second one, or the first. Oh heck, I give up. Great job.

#3, fantastic color, dynamic.

I agree, there's nothing like hearing and watching these locomotives! I go up to Port Clinton every year just to take photos and chase the train around the area!
Thanks for the kind comment, great to hear from you again!

To be honest, I really don't know. For whatever reason the EXIF of the original photo doesn't spell it out. Thanks for taking a look!

I think I detect a bit of the 3-D effect in #3 that we all seem to love. Maybe it's the extremely sharp focus on the front of the locomotive, but it's a very nice, added effect to an already fantastic shot.

Wonderful trio of shots Tom - something to be proud of.
