September, 2021 Winner: Big Boy Heading to the Golden Spike, USA

Contest Number: 181 Contest Theme: Cars, Trucks, Trains, Planes in Monochrome Lens: Pentax-F 70-210 Camera: Pentax K1 Shutter Speed: 1/2000s Aperture: F8

This image is of the Big Boy train heading through Echo Canyon, Utah. The train was part of the 150-year celebration of the driving of the Golden Spike, which commemorated completion of the transcontinental railway in the United States. It had rained all night and was humid and cold, perfect conditions for steam!
