Its amazing how much that engine has been through, wish it would be painted in brunswick green again....

Beautiful photograph Mitch!
|
It's a crying shame that such a significant piece of railroading (and engineering) history is so neglected. 4935 sits indoors with a fresh coat of paint while Old Rivets sits exposed to the elements in a worn coat of black primer. Ah well, she looks good in your photo anyway . . .

Mitch, if you could do for women what you've done for this tired old gal, you could make a fortune in the portrait business. Just gorgeous!

Another incredible image Mitch, you've taken full advantage of the circumstances presented, and made it look as if this result was your plan from the start. This is a blue ribbon winner in any photo contest.
|
Now that's a nice reflection showing all the detail and wavy metal. Really shows what she's made of.
|
The lighting is very moody and brings the images of sunrise or sunset as rendered by Grif Teller, PRR's calendar artist. It also hides the effects of the weather on this old girl.
|
The rivet detail really stands out well in your photo...good job! I'll echo Jonathan's comments - this GG-1 needs to be placed indoors!
|
Stunning! A new favorite of mine of yours. Well done.
|
A fine, fine roster shot - what museum? Even the power lines give a flavor of catenary!
|
Awesome angle. The angle makes old rivets look like the old dinosaur that she is...with the reflective window "eye" peering at you and her wrinkled skin
|
Loved the specs and history lesson you gave Mr. Goldman, always a pleasure to read. Thank you for sharing your picture.
|
Wow Mitch! The texture of the locomotive is amazing.
|
Mitch,
I was wondering what the heck you were doing taking pictures of it from where you were. Guess this is the answer.....NICE JOB!
|
What a beautiful beast she is. I love this pic, Mitch. That is a pic made for framing!!
|
Simply spectacular image Mitch. It's rare that an image of a static display piece can be so artfully executed so as to capture the imagination. Well done sir, well done.
|
Soldier on old girl. You will be taken care of eventually.
|
A great photo, thanks. I hope the the Museum relalizes the it must get the loco indoors FIRST and then restore it back to its former glory as they have with many other pieces on display inside the Mueum.
|
A real treat to see this interesting view.I hope the the Museum realizes the importance of getting the loco indoors FIRST and then doing what is necessary to bring it back to its former glory.
|
Well I only have one thing to say: PCA. Okay, maybe two: OUTSTANDING!
|
Beautiful image. Love the details and glow.
|
Monster!
|
Great color and sharpness, Mitch!
|
Beautiful! Congratulations on the PCA. I missed this first time around.
|
Looks like the old boiler in the basement of my Grandmother's farmhouse. Other than that she's beautiful!

Today Google has a "Google doodle" for Raymond Loewy 120th birthday.

"Old Rivets" is a true classic beauty...even after all these years!
