It's a huge beast! Great shot - it looks like it's ready to ride into the distance.

Excellent point of view and a great choice for black & white to go with the vintage locomotive. Well done!

Thank you. It is a real beast and even more impressive as you stand next to it.

This heavy machinery looks unstoppable. Nice shot!

well chosen perspective and convertion to B/W. This is indeed a beast. Thanks for taking the time to post information on the engine itself - appreciated.

Love the B/W processing; the white strips give a great counterpoint to the heavy iron beast.

Great story, and nice work focusing on the details instead of the whole thing.

My family lived near railroad tracks but only diesel electric locomotives were to be seen . We kids found trains hypnotic as they passed by . This image is very engaging , inspiring and educational .

Now that is an exceptional image. Well done. What a hard working machine.

My grandfather from shortly after 1900..someting to the early 1950's...worked (49.5 years) as a carpenter for the Canadian Pacific Railway. He was off 4 years from 1915-1919....fighting in France in WW1, as part of the Canadian Expeditionary Force...the returned to his job at the CPR.

Although he worked on rail cars, I'm sure he saw many a locomotive like that.
