ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the priceless picture. Please take more and post them.
ReplyDeleteThis train went through Hampton, Iowa Tuesday July 16th at 12:45 PM, what a beautiful site, and the sound it made was incredible.
ReplyDeleteLove old locomotives. That shot looks like a painting. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThe 4014 is an engineering marvel. You’ve captured this historic moment beautifully! Thanks, Dennis!
ReplyDeleteThe age of craftmenship and design thankfully someone else can see the need to restore and preserve the quality of by gone days.
ReplyDeleteSure it's not a painting? Just kidding, what a awesome photo!
ReplyDeleteA reminder of my teens! The whistle is fantastic! A step back in time.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dennis for the picture of 4014. I see the press didn't do too much, but saw it in Superior getting water.
ReplyDeleteThat is an awesome picture! Thank you. When I saw the 4006 years ago in St. Louis I was pretty sure there wouldn't be an example in steam ever. Glad to see the resurgence.
