I love a girl who loves trains. Great to see a female working on a train since I haven't seen any around here. Cool picture.

Back in the old days Freeman Hubbard always had a girl in each issue of RAILROAD MAGAZINE
|
Imagine that, a photo with a female in it makes one of the tops shots. And here I didn't think foamers knew what women were! :P

What a beautiful......... GP38-2. :P
|
It's a sad day when a photo like this is a top pic! You can even see her face. What's wrong with you guys?
|
You don't need to see her face. This is railroading, and it's not always about locomotives and scenery. It takes people to run a railroad, and this is an excellent example of modern day railroading. Great piccie, Nick. The human element is far too often lacking in this hobby.
|
If that was a guy standing there, no one would be considering the "human" element of railroading.
|
I kind of have to agree a face says a lot about a person man or woman and you can't see it in this picture.... Nice , Engine is out of focus though...
|
I agree with cavranger; Was thinking the exact same thing.

Nick, don't let the naysayers get you down. This is a great shot. The DOF is really nice, too. It doesn't matter if it's a dude or a woman, the human element really is interesting here, proven by the Top 24 and Top ofthe Week as well as the number of views.

Maybe we're going in the direction of Sports Illustrated here!
- just kidding

Human element, perhaps. A photo of a small kid waving at a passing locomotive, THAT is the human element in it's purest form. What this picture illustrates is the changes in the face of railroading, and vicariously the "human element." I disagree about the "man-shot" being denied, the library here is wallpapered (pun intended) with pictures of that type.
|
Nick, it's a good photo, I'm not trying to be a "nay sayer". All I was trying to get across is that the photo is about the female conductor and the guys on this site are only looking at her butt, not the motors switching in the back ground. I saw a picture yesterday that was similar to this one except the conductor was a male, it only had 35 views. The human element is in the jeans (pun intended).
|
Cavranger, you shouldn't try to blame others for what YOU are guilty of. ;-)
|
She has loose fitting jeans on----she's the conductor----and the diesels are deliberately blurred. It is an outstanding photo of the human side of railroading regardless of what the individual viewing it is looking at or looking for.
|
What I noticed was two beautiful things about railroading.
|
Another addition to the girls of RP.net.
|
Now if she was in a bikini we'd have something, well maybe. :)

Im quite positive that the engines are out of focus on purpose as an effect of photography. I myself believe this is a great example of the "human element" of railroading. Great shot man.
