What a great photo...

That is a great photograph, and what a sweet looking little lady! Would security concerns allow one to set up a photo like that in todays world?

Answering Madigrasman, I have seen many images posted here on RP.net of stationery or static locos on passenger platforms in recent post 9/11 years...but not too many taken with family members or friends posing next to the train. Perhaps some of our contributors probably have taken images with their significant "others" with them or even their children, but probably prefer to keep those as private memories.

The "Human Element" adds so much to the photos here, even if it initially appears to "spoil" a perfect photo op. It's why we are here to enjoy our hobby, trains and people-the perfect mix. Thanks for sharing:)

Sweet! Totally.

Definite human element here. Combining man's love of living and non-living things. One would almost not need to post a date, as the fashion of the time is a dead giveaway. Great photo.

I am another who thinks this is a great photo.

I love this photograph. It really brings out an element of "realness" of the Southern Crescent. I enjoy seeing pictures of classic passenger trains with people around them.
Out of the thousands of shots that have been made by families or friends posing with trains over the years, it is amazingly rare to see a photo like this. We sometimes get too caught up in the locomotive itself and not the train or the people who worked and rode on them.
Thank you for sharing this photograph.

Wow, sweet and very romantic!
