I'm not a little kid in Britain, but I like it !

whiteflyer: That is awesome.

We have been there, done that. My kids were raised on that! This was at the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Museum in Baltimore in 1998 (see passenger car in background). Film scan.

I really like the atmosphere in this picture due to the steam flowing from the engine.

Was this picture taken from an elevated vantage point? If so, how did you get the elevation?

I've taken very few train shots, this is my best so far, taken a few days ago(still learning the PP also) Trying to decide if I should try to get rid of the fence and the guy in the neon shirt.

I'd clone out the post for sure. It's a nice location. I wish that the shadow from the smoke didn't cover the engine, though.
