Very nice indeed - with a great period feel enhanced by all the perceived clutter!

That's one heck of a scan there, John. Excellent color and I like that added interest of the crew.

What a superb time piece, John. From the late 1960's no less!

Great shot that really shows the grime of working steam,considering the age of the shot superb technical quality as well

Another gem from the West archives, with the added bonus of some real steam depot atmosphere. Thanks for posting, John (and for the history lesson!).

This loco is now displayed in front of Mexican Revolution Monument, a piece of history now preserved. Great photo John!.

If the headlight and bell were any bigger, the locomotive would tip forward! Perfect composition and timing with the crew. Nice color also. Thanks!

A wonderful image! Yard photographs are usually lacklustre but not this one, made all the more enjoyable by the variety of human interest you've captured. Congratulations - I wish I'd been there!

Gotta love that headlight! I've seen her on display, but oh to have seen her under steam. Thanks for giving us a taste of what might have been. Beautiful job with the scan and an interesting photo too!
