International Steam Excursion with the CPR Empress

[rtronick]

This steam locomotive made a "trial" run through here today. Just happened to spot it while driving by. Took a couple of shots with my trusty Canon A520.

3 Nice pictures, love the detail on the second picture, on the the third shot may be crop tighter on the left side and reduce some of the foreground, then you would get more focus on the train.

Wow...what a great restoration...nice catch. Would love to see more of both ends. (And the middle too)

Thanks All!
This train will be making several trips thru here over the next 2 weeks. I plan on taking a lot of pictures.
