Gorgeous shot Mitch, best one so far...

This is a great shot Mitch! Love it!

I love the detail you captured of its smoke. Awsome.
Posted by Ken Kuehne on May 30, 2013 
I love this shot, Mitch!
Posted by Jim Kleeman on May 30, 2013 
Most of us spent time trying to find locations where we would find some light on the nose. You had a different vision and executed it flawlessly. Well done.

The best shot from the trip so far!

When you see a knockout like this, you know who took the photo. Great job!

Beautiful angle and spectacular plume!

Best shot of the weekend. How'd you get them to take the diesel off?

Best image I have seen of the 765 on these trips so far. Nice.

I knew without looking this was yours, Mitch ... magnificent!

I have deep plume envy...Well done Mitch!

Irrespective of light, angle or location is the power of demonstration. The motive power is totally well demonstrated here, congratulation.

You nailed it Mitch. Great shot!

I spent several minutes looking at and enjoying this photo. Mitch, you selected a great vantage point for this shot and you certainly captured the best possible essence of this iconic locomotive.

Mitch if I had the time.........I still wouldn't be able to get a photo as nice as this one. Lol.
Posted by Jim Thias on May 31, 2013 
One of the best shots emphasizing a steam locomotive's plume ever. Not only with the texture, but with the lighting and contrast of the background foliage. Nice work!
Posted by Steve Carter on May 31, 2013 
Beautiful! Excellent timing and composition.
Posted by Trey Belton on May 31, 2013 
Well done. The best shot I've seen of the 765 from the weekend.

Looks like there is a Sightseer Lounge being deadheaded to Los Angeles.

One of your best, and that's saying something! (BTW, there must have been a technical glitch on RP's side with that previous comment)
Posted by Mitch Goldman on June 2, 2013 
Thank you all for the kind comments - they're much appreciated!

I am late with the comment here (found out you have to be signed in for it to post!): I spent several minutes looking at this photo and enjoying it. Mitch, you selected a great vantage point for this shot and you certainly captured the best possible essence of this iconic locomotive.

May not be an M-1 but it'll do. Dynamite shot: impressive light and sense of power in this view.

Undoubtedly the best photo from the NKP 765 series over Memorial weekend. Very, very well done Mitch! A PCA headed your way, without a second thought. Thanks for sharing!
Posted by Steve Jensen Jr. on June 7, 2013 
I envy you. This is a magnificent shot. And the junk behind 765 is pretty much hidden.
Posted by Adam Pizante on June 10, 2013 
Great image Mitch, nice work with the tuff lighting!
Posted by Kevin Madore on June 10, 2013 
Given the tricky lighting, I wonder how many still shooters skipped this spot in favor of the front-lit wedge? You opted for the challenge and have pulled it off magnificently. A lot of people could shoot this, but not a lot of people could get it processed like this. Congrats on the PC (x2 this week), Mitch!
Posted by Bo Gray on June 12, 2013 
Late to the party but no less impressed...WOW, Mitch...wonderfully done!
Posted by Scott Marsh on June 13, 2013 
Great shot Mitch
Posted by John Sweigert on June 14, 2013 
one Word.................OUTSTANDING!
Posted by Andrew Blaszczyk (2) on November 7, 2015 
While your pans are old hat, I find myself coming back to this image again and again. For one, I am jealous that I skipped this spot for Mifflin, but, also, because it's an outstanding photograph that stands on it's own merits with no gimmicks. Impressive.
