Big Red

Richard, it's been a little too long since I've enjoyed looking at your works. I need to visit more often! I LOVE this photo! My favorite color (red) and I love trains!!

Thank you Anne I appreciate it, I have always been a rail fan since I was a toddler in the early sixties, my dad use to take me to the train station where we lived to watch them hours on end, it was a very active line and part of the New York Central system.

Richard, At the same time I love trains and am a little bit scared of them. I love your train pictures. They are powerful stuff! I like your other fine photographs on FAA as well. Didn't have time to comment on more tonight. Will return. Thx. for your recent kind words. aew

Thank Tim, The old steam engine that was pulling the passenger car we were in can't make it up the high incline so the diesel engine #711 comes almost out of nowhere at a rather quick speed and helps by pushing the steam locomotive up to the top of the hill.

This one I just like. Locomotives are so awesomely powerful and this brings out the intimidating almost haunting power it holds. I wish I had your knack.
