If I had to pick one shot of the bunch this would be my favorite. Appears to be working hard, perhaps on a grade, nice smoke, perfect sun angle, lovely background, fall colors, blue sky, and freight that could be endless for all we know.
I also really, really like the night shot, with the two engines, and that very unique water tank, which I have not seen images of before!!
I did like the backlit reflection shot a lot as well.
Now for the question. On the shot I liked, there seems to be something wrapped around the base of the steam dome. What is it?
Second and final question? Is the water tank authentic, being typical of the type on the Railroad?
Not a bad shot in the bunch. Happy you had such great weather and made the most of it with good cooperation for the crews and correct exposures. 65 runbys....thats gotta be a record!!!
