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

Interesting shot! So much going on, engine is nice and clean also.
|
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!
