Beautiful, Samuel -
Your photo reminds me of Phil Ronfor's fine painting, 'Early Morning at the Como Roundhouse':
It was featured in Mac Poor's 'Photo Supplement to Denver, South Park & Pacific' that I purchased not long after arriving at rival Wm. Palmer's little college in Colorado Springs nearly 79 years ago, and a print of the painting was part of the set that I asked for – and received – the following Christmas. I wonder where the original painting is today — maybe at the CRRM?
