Excellent composition and execution, especially considering the lighting. |

Very nice photo! I love rain shots. |

Very cool! |

Wow.. great shot. Is it just me or does anyone else wonder how a train would get up that grade? |

Very nicely captured! |

Hope this little GP38 is familiar with the story of the 'little engine that could'....the wet rails sure look challenging. Nicely composed photo and interesting perspective. |

Excellent, great idea! |

Great Shot! Very nice Jan. |

Great shot of the Yadkin Local. One little correction though its actually in Gold Hill. Richfield is a few miles south. |

It's pretty neat, except for that lens flare, you might have wanted to clone that out. |

Very Nice... It goes to show that you don't need a beautiful sunny day to take a GREAT rail photo. Good work. |

Who says it has to be sunny and 70 to have a pic accepted here |

Nice shot, but that lens flare should have been an obvious rejection point... If you clone it out though I see no problem with this awesome shot! |

Great shot, such atmosphere! |

Stunning use of many photographic elements. I really enjoy the tracks going from the foreground to the locomotive- it leads the eye through the whole photo. Who says you need a beautiful cloudless day to get a POTW? |
Posted by Jan Kohl on February 16, 2010
I'm very astounded, folks! Thank you very much for the kind words, comments and the PotW! |
Posted by Ken Huard on February 16, 2010
Great depth! |
Posted by Ian Hapsias on February 18, 2010
That is just fantastic. I really like the overall surroundings and composure of the shot in many ways.. Ever so more the angle of the hill with the train approaching. Great Job, and a perfect fit for the POTW. |

Really like the feel of the mood in this shot. |

Perspective makes this hill seem a lot shorter and steeper than I am sure it is. I have taken a few shots with a similar perspective and its a shot that looks like its an impossible climb. The rain and even the light flares give this photo an interesting and almost gloomy mood. I like it. Post more like this. |

Awesome! It reminds me of an impressionistic painting only with the emphasis on the moody, rainy day and the shimmering of the headlight / ditch lights on the rails. |
